MADRID (AP) " Gerard Pique says the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be his final tournament with Spain because he feels he is not wanted in the national team. The Barcelona defender made the announcement after Spain's 2-0 win at Albania on Sunday in European qualifying for the World Cup. "I always give everything I have on the field, but there are people who think it's better if I'm not here," Pique said. I'll try to play my 100th game with the team, and I want to win the World Cup again, which is the most important thing." Pique, who has two children with his long-term partner, Colombian singer Shakira, helped Spain win the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship.
