Spain and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique had made his stand clear over Catalan independence last week and, on Saturday, had to respond to questions over comments he made backing a possible referendum on independence for Catalonia.
"I express my opinions because I am a footballer and a citizen. When I feel I should express myself I will and this doesn’t affect my profession," said Pique.
