Piqué: "I hope we win 3-0 and dedicate the victory to Tito"

Gerard Piqué is raring to go for the historic match against the mighty Milan this Tuesday in the Camp Nou. Interviewed by the Chinese daily 'Titan Sport', he had this to say: "Milan is a competitive team, and with a great history, and we knew it was going to be a tough match. We now go back to the Camp Nou two goals behind, and have to pull back from that. We'll go all out on the attack from the word go, playing our style of football until the final whistle; I hope we win 3-0."

If they do win 3-0, it will be exclusively dedicated to a man special to the Barça changing room: "We miss Tito. We trust and love him. We're in a tricky situation without a manager, it's like a company without a director, but we'll get over it - Tito is helping us from New York. The most important thing is his health, and we shouldn't put him under any pressure. We'll wait for him until he gets better."

Piqué has many footsteps that he would love to follow: "I've seen many videos of Beckenbauer's game, he's a fantastic player, and winner of a Ballon d'Or. He's a great example for me. When I was little I also liked Ronald Koeman, who scored and helped Barça win its first Champions League. Also Paolo Maldini, a great Milan player. I've learnt a lot from them."
