Just In: Barcelona Star, Gerard Pique Announces Retirement From Football

Barcelona defender, Gerard Pique announced his retirement from football on Thursday, November 3.

The 35-year-old claims that he will play his final home game at Camp Nou.

He will hang up his cleats after Barcelona’s away game the following week before the Spanish league suspends play for the period of the World Cup.

Pique’s final game will be Saturday’s match between Barcelona and Almeria.

The Spaniard announced his retirement in a social media message, saying: “I’ve always said that there would be no other team after Barcelona and that’s how it will be.

“This Saturday’s game will be my last at the Camp Nou.

“I will become another fan and support the team and pass my love for Barcelona onto my kids like parents did for me.”
