Reports have emerged claiming that former Real Madrid chief Jorge Valdano has weighed into the Gerard Pique debate.
The Barcelona defender is being jeered by his own Spain fans.
Valdano argued that Piqué is “committed to the truth” and “pays the price” because he “says what he feels”.
Valdano went on to highlight the Barcelona centre-back’s important contribution to “the best period in Spanish football history”, stating that the 28-year-old deserves to be treated much better than he is.
