He scolded the referee in the first half
Barcelona’s Gerard Pique did not have enough time to enter the field in the last game of his career.
The central defender was given a red card after protesting the decision at halftime.
“You are a disgrace” It is said that Pique told the referee.
Last week, Barcelona icon Gerard Pique, 35, announced that he would hang up his boots mid-season.
At the end of the week he was sent off in his last home game and on Tuesday evening he was due to make his last appearance in the Barcelona shirt away to Osasuna.
But there was no final farewell.
He scolded the referee – he got a red card
The central defender started off the bench and was sent off at halftime after he complained about a decision in the players’ tunnel. His ninth – and final – red card in league.
“Did you see the corner (when Osasuna scored)? You are the judge who messed with us the most, by a wide margin. You are a disgrace!” Pique is said to have said, among other things, according to match reports, and Spanish media reports.
Won – despite double ejection
Pique’s red card was one of several setbacks Barcelona faced in the first 45.
First they conceded an early late goal – then top scorer Robert Lewandowski received his second yellow after elbowing David Garcia in the face.
After the break, the mortal Barcelona managed to come back with goals from Pedri and Ravenha. The match ended 2-1 for the guests.
Barcelona leads the Spanish League, five points ahead of Real Madrid, with a game postponed.
