FC Barcelona registered a 2-0 win over Almeria in LaLiga, as Gerard Pique bid an emotional farewell on Saturday evening at the Camp Nou. Read more ➡️
It was veteran defender Gerard Pique’s last match at home for Barca, who confirmed his retirement in midweek following the 4-2 win at Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League group stages.
The Blaugrana didn’t drop the tempo despite the missed penalty and threatened again when Pique dragged a snap effort wide before Ousmane Dembele saw a loose shot blocked. Barcelona looked on all fronts for a way through and were close when a step-over from a tight angle by Frenkie De Jong ended with a low shot before Dembele had a point-blank shot saved by Fernando.
Dembele was on course for a brace minutes later after he beat the offside trap and rounded Fernando to face a gaping goal, but he was unable to profit.
