Fans were encouraged to wear the defender's shirt to the stadium, and even his fellow teammates donned a Piqué kit. Special kits were made for the game for the squad to train in ahead of kick-off.

The back boasted his name and his number 3, while the front had the word Sempr3 on it. Sempre is Spanish for Always/Forever, and the 3 was used instead on an E to pay tribute to Piqué's squad number.

Fans even chanted his name when Barcelona were given an early penalty, as supporters wanted the captain for the day to take the spot kick. Robert Lewandowski took the kick and missed.
