Good evening everybody and welcome along to another MARCA in English LaLiga Santander live blog, this time for Barcelona vs Almeria in what is Gerard Pique’s final game at the Camp Nou before he retires mid-season. Xavi Hernandez, though, has said he will be part of the squad for the midweek game at Osasuna.
Pique will hang up his boots as a player with the fifth-highest number of appearances for Barcelona, and coach Xavi is one of those with more games under his belt. The ex-midfielder is expected to play the centre-back.
With Real Madrid not playing until Monday night away at Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona can go temporarily go to the top of the LaLiga Santander table.
