Gerard Pique Confirms Saturday’s Game as His Last Bus-Stop for Barcelona

Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique has confirmed that Saturday’s home game for the club when they face Almeria will be his last at Camp Nou for the club.

The player posted a moving video on his social media accounts confirming that it’s time to ‘close the circle with the Catalan club.

Pique failed to reveal where his next destination would be but did close the video with an ‘I’ll be back massage.

The 34-year-old won thirty major trophies during his 14-year career at Barcelona.

Originally one of the most promising students at La Masia, Piqué joined Manchester United in 2004.

He returned to Barcelona in 2008 under Pep Guardiola’s leadership and helped the club win trebles in 2008–09 and 2014–15.

He is one of only four players to have won the UEFA Champions League two years in a row with different teams, the others being Marcel Desailly, Paulo Sousa, and Samuel Eto’o.

Piqué has also represented Spain 102 times, making his debut on 11 February 2009.
He played an integral role in the Spain teams that won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012. He retired from the national team after the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
