Leaving it all on the field! Gerard Piqué announced that he is retiring from soccer less than four months after his split from longtime partner Shakira.
“The last few weeks, months, lots of people have been talking about me. Until now, I haven’t said anything.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about that kid lately,” he said. “About what little Gerard would have thought if he had been told that all of his dreams would come true. That he would make it to Barca first team. That he would win every trophy possible. That he would become European Champion and World Champion. That he would play alongside the best players in history. That he would become one of the team’s captains. That he would make friends for life.”
The defender’s career began in 1997 at age 10 when he joined the club’s youth team U12B.

The athlete has helped his team win various honors since, including three UEFA Champions League titles and three Club World Cups.
