Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has announced that he will retire from football when the Spanish League breaks for the World Cup this month, reports ESPN and The Athletic.
The 35-year-old released a video on his social media channels to make the announcement.
Pique said Saturday's match against Almeria in LaLiga will be his last at Camp Nou for the Catalan club after 14 years in the first team following his return from Manchester United in 2008.
In the video he said, “I’ve always said that there would not be any other team after Barça. And that’s how it will be. This Saturday’s game will be my last at the Camp Nou.”
Pique's grandfather was on the board at Barcelona, and Pique joined the club's academy in 1997 before leaving for Man United in 2004.
