🚨Gerard Pique on Atletico Madrid’s statement yesterday accusing Barça of a smear campaign over Julián Álvarez and dragged up the referees topic:
Atleti talking about smear campaigns and ethics? This is the funniest shit I’ve heard in years. The club literally built on corruption, embezzlement, and stolen money is trying to lecture Barcelona on ethics?
Let’s talk real history. Your beloved president Jesús Gil was a convicted criminal. Embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, fraud, the man turned Atletico into his personal mafia. He was sentenced to prison for it. Banned from public office. His “Jerseygate” scandal? Using Marbella city money, millions of euros from taxpayers as fake sponsorship on your shirts to embezzle funds straight into the club. €3 million stolen. House arrest, 28-year ban. Court convicted him. That’s not “advice,” that’s straight-up theft from the people.
And the Great Heist? How you stole the entire club from your own fans with fraudulent share dealings and illicit finances during the stock market flotation. National Court rulings on misappropriation and fraud. Gil and his crew convicted again, three-and-a-half years for fraud related to the club’s financial management. Players bought with phantom deals, money diverted to family companies, fake signings of guys who never existed. You call that a football club? That’s a criminal enterprise dressed in red and white.
You accuse us while your entire legacy is built on court convictions and public looting. Now you cry and post memes with sunflower seeds because Julián Álvarez wants out? He sees the difference: a real project at Barça versus a victim club still living in the shadow of a crook who fired coaches like it was a joke and ran everything like a banana republic.
And the hypocrisy on transfers? You spent the whole summer being stingy, pressuring, and leaking information left and right when you were chasing Sørloth and Baena. Haggling like cheap businessmen, trying to lowball Villarreal, forcing swap deals, and feeding the press every little detail to create pressure. Yet here you are preaching about “respect” and “smear campaigns” when someone does the same to you over Julián. You sell advice that you don’t take yourselves, lecturing everyone on fair play while leaking sensitive info and playing dirty in the market. Classic Atleti.
Disrespectful? The disrespect is pretending you’re clean while your foundation is rotten with stolen money and “The Great Heist.” Álvarez isn’t your prisoner. He wants trophies, not fighting for fourth and making excuses every season. Your €500m clause is a fantasy, nobody pays that for a team haunted by embezzlers.
