The Spain international has hailed his team-mates' contribution
so far this term and has made it clear that Barcelona cannot win the Champions
League each season
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique believes Lionel Messi and Neymar have been in superb form in the opening weeks of the
2014-15 campaign and is delighted to be playing in the same team as both
attackers.
The Brazil international netted two goals in his side's 2-0 win over Athletic
Bilbao at the weekend, with Messi providing the assist for both strikes, and
Pique has hailed the duo's displays so far this term.
"Messi and Neymar are as good as ever. This season, they both have a lot of
quality and when they connect it's amazing," the Spain defender said at a press
conference.
"They are two of the best in the world and they play together."
Barcelona have collected nine points from their opening three games in La
Liga and already hold a six-point advantage over arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Nevertheless, Pique has insisted that Madrid cannot be written off just yet.
"We have started with nine points in the league but that doesn't mean the
league will be easy or a done deal.
"It'll be a tough competition until the very end so I don't think Madrid will
be far behind us."
The centre-back also had his say on Barcelona's Champions League ambitions
and insisted that people cannot expect the Catalans to win the competition each
season.
"If we had to win the Champions League every couple of seasons, that would be
a very tough task.
"We have a very good generation which we have to make the most of. We have
won lots of titles and we expect to win a lot more but that doesn't mean we
think we can win the Champions League all the time."
