Meanwhile, Gerard Pique is willing to leave the club if the board feels he is part of the changes that need to be made in the club after a calamitous ending of the season.
Despite winning 20 major trophies in his 12 year spell with the club, Pique believes there needs to be massive changes and is willing to bite the bullet for the club if necessary.
Speaking immediately after the 8-2 defeat, the World Cup winner described the defeat as “hitting rock bottom” for his club.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that it will be the first time since the 2005 that both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature in the semifinal of the prestigious competition.
Ronaldo’s Juventus crashed out of this season’s tournament in the round of 16 following their loss to French side Lyon.
Ronaldo on the other hand have lifted the coveted trophy five times, once at Manchester United and then four times while playing at Real Madrid.
With their ages Messi 33 and Ronaldo 35, fans are concerned that the era of both players is gradually coming to a close.
