Speaking in an interview with Dutch magazine "Voetbal", Piqué also had great praise for the abilities of the portuguese forward.

Piqué: "Now that he is at Real Madrid, I know all of his tricks because he was my rival every day in practice. However, this does not guarantee anything, because I know that he is a very complete player."
