BARCELONA, Nov. 7 (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué is the protagonist of the Barça call to visit Osasuna this Tuesday (9:30 p.m.), the last list of his professional career, after announcing his retirement last Thursday.
Barça’s most successful central defender with 30 titles will say goodbye to LaLiga Santander and his professional career at El Sadar, after entering his last call. In addition, the injuries of Koundé, who will finally not be in Pamplona, ??and Araujo, in the process of recovering, as well as Eric García who is coming back from a muscle injury, could make Piqué pair up with Christensen in his final farewell.
This final goodbye will take place after last Thursday he announced his ‘step to the side’, with the recent duel against Almería as his last game on the Camp Nou pitch. The veteran center-back said goodbye as a starter to his audience, on a day in which he enjoyed an emotional tribute at the Barça fiefdom.
As against the Andalusian team, Xavi repeats the call, with the aforementioned Piqué playing a leading role and his goodbye, and the injured Koundé, Sergi Roberto, Araujo, Kessie and Memphis missing.
Thus, to visit El Sadar, Xavi has summoned 22 players. A list made up of goalkeepers Ter Stegen, Iñaki Peña and Arnau Tenas; defenders Bellerín, Piqué, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Eric García, Balde and Chadi; Busquets, Pedri, De Jong, Marc Casadó, Gavi and Pablo Torre, as midfielders; and forwards Dembélé, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran and Raphinha.
