Watch as Barcelona legend Gerard Pique was sent off at half-time of his final match before he retires from professional football.

Pique was shown his marching orders for remonstrating with the referee during Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Osasuna to move five points clear at the top of La Liga on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old, who said goodbye to the Camp Nou last weekend, was angry when referee Jesus Gil Manzano gave Barca striker Robert Lewandowski a second yellow card just after the half-hour mark.

Barca coach Xavi Hernandez only put Pique on the team as a sub, so he got angry and went over to Manzano at halftime.

“I was going to bring him on, yes,” said Xavi.

“We knew that Andreas (Christensen) was coming back from injury, that he lacked a bit of rhythm. Eric Garcia was feeling pain… So Gerard was left and we thought we’d play him, yes.

“But they sent him off at half-time. It was the result of the tension of the moment. We felt injustice, hence Gerard’s reaction.”
