Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is relishing the prospect of lifting the Champions League by beating bitter rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

The final of this year’s European showpiece is set to be held at the Bernabeu and Pique would love to see off Madrid on their own turf.

“It would be my third Champions League and if on top of that we win it at the Bernabeu and against Real Madrid, it would be fantastic, marvellous,” he told Interviu.

Last season was Pique’s first back at Barca following his return from Manchester United.

The youngster, who spent seven years in the Catalans’ youth academy, insists he now never wants to leave.

Pique said: “To go somewhere else has no part at all in what I want. My wish is to retire at the Nou Camp. I am very happy.”

Having witnessed Barca sweep all before them it was a summer of change at Madrid as returning president Florentino Perez spent over 250million euros on Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Raul Albiol, Alvaro Negredo, Esteban Granero and Alvaro Arbeloa.

However, Pique believes it will be a long time before they are a realistic threat.

“Florentino Perez has thrown away many millions and has great footballers, but they need a lot more time to be a real team,” said the 22-year-old. “They still depend on individuals.

“Each game we do well in because of what the team does. We’re never going to be tired of winning because the dressing room is a tight-kit clan. There is unity, commitment and there are no clashes nor in-fighting: we all feel important.”
