Over the past several years, very few topics have divided Barcelona fans like that of Gerard Pique. Both on and off the pitch, the 35-year-old has made headline after headline, and usually not positive ones.
On Thursday, Pique announced that he is officially retiring from professional football, and Saturday’s match against Almeria will be his last at the Camp Nou.
He leaves Barca an eight-time La Liga champion and a three-time Champions League winner, with seven Copa del Rey trophies to his name as well. This is without even mentioning his Supercups, Club World Cups and of course, his World Cup and European Championship trophies with Spain.
