Since June, the soccer player Gerard Piqué has not stopped being news in the different international media. Although it has mostly been due to issues related to his breakup and separation from Shakira, the rumor of his possible withdrawal from the courts also emerged and resonated strongly.
After several months of speculation that the 35-year-old Spanish soccer player would no longer be part of FC Barcelona, Piqué shared a video on his social networks on the morning of November 3 in which he officially announced his retirement from professional soccer.
The athlete started the video by saying that in recent months there has been a lot of talk about him and that now it is his turn. During a recording of just over two minutes, the Catalan said that since he was a child he had wanted to be a footballer, but that he always wanted to be part of Barça and play alongside the best players in history.
With some scenes in which he can be seen as a child playing with a soccer ball surrounded by his family and other children, in the recording Piqué is seen, moved to tears, saying that he will keep his promise that the Barcelona will be the team with which he will retire from his career.

Culés, I have to tell you something.
In addition, he announced that next Saturday’s game in which he will face UD Almería at the Camp Nou will be the last game that the Spaniard will play with the Blaugrana squad, expressing all the love and affection he feels for the team that “has given him everything ”.
Now Piqué will stop wearing the Barcelona shirt and will become one more culé who will encourage the team. In addition, he said that he will be in charge of transmitting his love for the team to his children, just as his family did with him. Saying that sooner or later he will return, he hinted that he could be in a role as manager or coach.
The little appearance of the Barcelona defender in the games of recent seasons has been quite evident, which is why it was known that he demanded a more leading role with the culé team. But, apparently, the off-court issues and the issue of his separation from Shakira have been a factor that could have affected the footballer at the end of his career.
