With two finalists already confirmed for the tournament in Brazil and Chile, many memorable moments and a significantly larger audience, Gerard Pique has spoken about the possibility of Lionel Messi taking part in the tournament someday.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings League featured the likes of Kaka and Neymar, and Santos players hinted that Messi could feature in the semi-finals, but that did not materialize. However, considering the future of the tournament, it is expected that Argentine players will take part.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Antonella Roccuzzo captures Miami&#8217;s attention with new Instagram post<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Gerard Pique has a new proposal for Lionel Messi in the Kings League<\/h2>\n<p>Gerard Pique spoke out ahead of the Brazil-Chile grand final and put pressure on Neymar after being asked about Messi&#8217;s presence. &#8220;Ask Nei. He was the one who threw it, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>He&#8217;s the best in the history of this sport, so it would be incredible to have him with us.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">gerard pic<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The former Barcelona defender went on to say that he would like Messi to take part. &#8220;We&#8217;ll see if there&#8217;s any chance of him joining the Kings League one day. For me, that&#8217;s obviously a dream because we hope for the best and as I always say, he&#8217;s the best in the history of this sport. So it would be incredible if he could be with us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Pique talks about adding more star players to the Kings League<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to Messi, Pique also talked about the option of adding more great footballers to the Kings League. The Kings League is a very attractive event, but the presence of high-level players is the key to promotion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to play with some of the best players in the world, with all kinds of teammates. They always have a chance to play,&#8221; explained the 2010 World Cup winner with Spain. &#8220;It&#8217;s more complicated during your playing days, but once your career is over it&#8217;s a different story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pique gave much credit to the host city for the success of the Nations Cup. &#8220;We knew that Brazil was a country that would work very well for the Kings. Sevens-a-side football is played a lot, and there is a lot of consumption at the level of social networks. It has a large population and is very connected. We are a product that is designed to be real football and at the same time like a video game,&#8221; said the former Barcelona player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/2026\/01\/17\/696bb24d22601d550a8b4588.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TThe Kings League was a great success, and the World Cup of Nations in Brazil was an even greater success.
