Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique says that despite all the laurels and trophies he has won with the Blaugrana and the Spanish national team, he is still hungry for more success.
The 23-year-old joined the Blaugrana from Manchester United in 2008 after winning the Premier League and the Champions League titles with the English giants.
Pique then won the treble with Barcelona in the 2008-09 season and was a key member of Spain's World Cup-winning team in South Africa in the summer of 2010.
Despite winning almost everything at such a young age, Pique remains humble and has been quoted by Catalan sports daily Sport as saying, "I enjoy what I do and I'm in a great team surrounded by the best players in the world in a place that we call home.
"However, there are still many things left to do in football. For example, I have never competed and won a European Championship with Spain."
