Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, found the net after 28 minutes of play to
help the Catalans to a hard-fought victory in their Group F opener after
fine work from the Argentina captain.
Do you think Barcelona Players praise Messi way too much?Or does he simply deserve the praises he gets?Continue to see what Pique said...
"I was lucky to score – I don't normally – but I had a great
opportunity and it turned out to be the winning goal," Pique told
reporters.
"Lionel Messi delivered a really good ball for me and I had only to put it in the net.
"So I'm happy for the win, for the performance and for the three
points because starting with a victory is always important and we can
now focus on the next Liga game."
Pique was full of praise for APOEL's tactics on the night and admits
they were forced to keep their concentration levels up to deal with the
Cypriot counters.
"APOEL know how to play, their style of football really works and
they know how to go about their business. They defend really well and
know how to counterattack," he added.
"We wanted to score more but it wasn't possible and finally we had to
concentrate really hard at the back in order not to concede."
