Gerard Pique announced on social media that this Saturday's game against Almeria will be his last game at the Camp Nou with Barcelona. The homegrown Barca man, who has won 28 titles with the side, said that: "I've decided that now is the time to end this cycle".
A lot of fans are after the real reason why the Barca centre-back is ending his career, considering he is under contract until 2024. On social media, they are mainly blaming the new Sports Law, which was passed the same day as the footballer's retirement.
It is worth remembering that this new law states that no active player can have business interests with a competition in which they compete. Interestingly, Gerard Pique has been linked to several things of this type in the past months with Luis Rubiales, RFEF president.
What is clear is that the defender's last game will be this Saturday's against Almeria. "Sooner or later, I'll be back. I'll see you at the Camp Nou. Long live Barca", was how he ended the video on his personal Twitter account.
