Gerard Pique bid farewell to football on Saturday evening as FC Barcelona defeated 2-0 Almeria at the Camp Nou. SLInt MORE:
Barca made three changes from the side that edged Valencia, as Pique was recalled for his final game at the club after he announced his retirement, alongside Marcos Alonso and Ferran Torres.
Xavi's charges were fired up to make amends but they were constantly thwarted by Martinez, who denied both Pedri and Sergio Busquets. Barca had a perfect start in the second stanza as Dembele eventually broke the deadlock three minutes in after he cut inside from a long pass by Busquets and got past a couple of challenges before firing a low shot past Martinez.
Xavi kept Almeria on their toes as he had the luxury of calling upon the fresh legs of Raphinha in the last 22 minutes, who replaced Dembele in attack.
