The Spanish player was then booed at the Spanish national team training and later gave a press conference in which he put forward his point of view on the referendum and tearfully offered to quit his position if his point of view is seen as a problem. He stated, "I think I can continue. But if the board really thinks I'm a problem, I will take a step back and leave the national team before 2018."
Pique further added, "I am and I feel Catalan, today more than ever. I am proud of the behaviour of the people of Catalonia. Voting is a right that must be defended."
