Their 2022 UCL trophy, which was a miracle because they’re inferior in each round, no one will remember it.”

And it's entirely subjective that they played good football through their own lens. This level of brainwash permeates through them. https://t.co/MwQMqExDPy

Perhaps Barcelona can add Pique’s quotes to the moral victory trophy room?
