Barcelona’s Gerard Pique hopes Manchester United will reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League and eliminate Real Madrid.

The Spain international played for Manchester United from 2004 until 2008, and hopes the Red Devils will triumph over his enemies of Madrid this Wednesday.

“I would like Manchester United to make it to the next round,” Pique told reporters.

“I would like them to progress because of my time at the club. However, Madrid have been in good form in recent weeks. It promises to be an interesting tie.”

The player then commented on Barcelona’s 6-1 Liga win over Getafe on the weekend and praised the current Barcelona team.

“We have a very complete team,” he said.

“A few players who don’t usually enjoy a lot of minutes (on the pitch) got to play on Sunday and they proved that they are at a good level. This gives us tranquility.”
