92,605 spectators came to the Spotify Camp Nou this Saturday to say goodbye to one of their great idols of this century. Gerard Piqué was playing his last game as a professional footballer at the Blaugrana fiefdom and the fans responded by offering the best entrance of the season.
Xavi Hernández started him out in the match that Barça played against Almería on matchday thirteen of the League. In addition, he wore the captain's armband that Sergio Busquets would have worn in a normal match.
But it was a special and emotional night. Piqué said goodbye to Barça after 15 years in the first team, a club that has been in his heart since he was a child. His time at La Masia marked him for life. He was part of the wonderful generation of '87 that he led together with Cesc Fàbregas and Leo Messi.
Teammates took to the field with Piqué's name and number on the back and the slogan 'Sempr3' on the front of the shirt. That same slogan was put on a tarp in the center circle. The match left numerous images of the center-back, both before (some with his children) and during the match.
