Pique’s sudden retirement surprised many people, but the former Spaniard did not regret it.

Pique retired mid-season.
In an interview with Spain’s RAC1, Pique said: “I ended for some reason. I don’t feel as important to the team as I am at other times and that doesn’t make me feel good. “
“I’m not going to delve into whether or not I feel cheated by anyone. I think I chose my own ending, that happened and I’m happy with that.”
“It was the best thing for me, for everyone, for the team. I made a deliberate decision, even if it seemed like it was made in the heat of the moment, and I have no regrets about it. that. It was the right decision.”
