Barcelona
defender, Gerard Pique, on Thursday announced his retirement.
According to the 35-year-old, he will play
his last home game at the Camp Nou.
He will retire after Barcelona’s away game
next week, before the Spanish league stops for several weeks due to the World
Cup.
Saturday’s match between Barcelona and
Almeria will be Pique’s final game.
A social media message from the Spaniard
said: “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.”
