Probably you saw this weekend Gerard Pique will have last game in Barcelona. Such news is unexpected, considering that we didn't even reached middle of season and I'm wondering what's the reason behind such decision.
Few recent seasons weren't easy, I said lot of bad words about him, but after all, he is legend of Barcelona and he done a lot for the club.
I dont know from where are you, but Pique its involved in so many drama in the last time. The last one its his divorce from Shakira (the singer) and its an scandalous one.
Before this he is involved also in some really dirty things with the president of Spanish football federation, and if you seek in the web you can find phonecalls between them trying to make some business with Supercopa matches in Arabia Saudi.
Why is he involved in this?. Because for several year he is more a busines man than a player, he have several companies, one for media other for managing events, and also he owned a club, i think its FC Andorra currently in LaLiga2.
So he its really busy in his head and time with this things, and Barcelona club also its not in his best time so.....
But i agree with you in one thing, nobody expect this so early, we can expect this after the season or at the middle, but not now, it was a surprise for alls.
