Pique bids bye to teammates, fans as Barcelona go top of La Liga

Barcelona legend Gerard Pique was given an emotional standing ovation as he made his final Nou Camp appearance in their 2-0 La Liga win over Almeria.

He was replaced in the 84th minute and tearfully embraced all his team-mates, boss Xavi and the entire Barca bench.

The 35-year-old will retire after Tuesday’s trip to Osasuna, although it is not certain he will play in that.
