Gerard Pique Insists He'll be Back at Barca in Tearful Speech
News 18Gerard Pique played his last game at Camp Nou on Saturday in Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Almeria and told fans he would be back during an emotional speech. Pique, who was cheered by fans throughout the game after more than 14 years in Barcelona’s first-team squad, enjoyed a lap of honour at the end of the game and was tossed into the air by his team-mates, as over 92,000 fans stayed in Camp Nou to pay homage to him. “I’ve got a thousand things to do, I’ll get organised," said Pique, who has already moved into sport-related business. Fans have praised the Catalan defender for leaving, amid a period of generational change for Barcelona, with president Joan Laporta saying Pique’s departure will also save the club money as they look to reach a contract termination deal.
