Barcelona defender Jordi Alba reacted to the end of his teammate Gerard Piqué's career.
It's a strange feeling. It's a sad moment for the Barcelona players and all the Catalans. It's a pity that Gerard is leaving, because he did so much for the club. I know him very well. He is cold with people he does not know, but he is very warm with those who are close to him. Piqué gave a lot to Barça, and Barça gave a lot to him. We will miss him. Now we will do our best to take trophies. We want to dedicate them to Piqué.
