Barcelona star Gerard Pique shirty over jersey criticismREUTERS Gerard Pique is weary of fans worried about what he's wearing. Spain defender Gerard Pique will retire from international football after the 2018 World Cup following a controversy surrounding his shirt sleeves, according to a report on the BBC website. The Barcelona star, 29, is unpopular with some Spain fans for his support of independence for Catalonia. After social media criticism, the Spanish FA released a statement to explain why, and defend Pique. Pique has played 85 times for Spain and hopes to reach up the 100-cap milestone before quitting.
