    Barcelona ace Gerard Pique is set to retire from football following the match versus Almeria in La Liga on Saturday. Pique made the announcement via a video on social media.

He has lifted three Champions League trophies, seven Copa del Rey honors, six Spanish Super Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, and three FIFA Club World Cups.

    Pique spent four seasons at Man United

    Pique spent four seasons with Manchester United in the start of his career. He joined the Premier League side in 2004 but remained a fringe player under Sir Alex Ferguson. He went on to make a handful 23 appearances and spent one season on loan at Spanish side Real Zaragoza, making 28 appearances.
