Pique given emotional farewell in closing stages at Camp Nou

Pique's time as a Barca player at the Camp Nou has come to an end. The 35 year-old played his final game at the Camp Nou and it ended in a very comfortable win over Almeria. 

The defender, who announced his retirement on Thursday, was very keen to receive the support of his fans for one last time. And that is what he received from when he went out to warm up pre-game. 

He looked sad when he was about to start his last home match and it was fully understandable. Then, at 2-0 after 84 minutes, it was time to say goodbye. 

Christensen got ready to come onto the pitch and the fourth official's board showed Pique's number 3. The Camp Nou cheered the central defender's name and said farewell to one of the club's legends. 

Gerard, who was clearly emotional, said goodbye to his teammates one by one and applauded all the fans present at the stadium. Xavi was unable to hold back his tears when he hugged Pique either.

Then, at the end of the game, Pique once again was in the spotlight. The defender once again received the affection of his teammates, who also threw him up in the air with 92,605 fans looking on. 

The Catalan also wanted to thank his fans and did a lap of the pitch to thank them for everything from the bottom of his heart.
