• A footage has emerged that explained why Gerard Pique was shown a straight red card in his last ever professional game
• Gerard Pique was given a red card as a substitute in his final ever game after arguing with the referee.
• Barcelona came from a goal and man down to beat Osasuna 2-1 in La Liga on Tuesday

Barcelona veteran Gerard Pique was shown a straight red card in his final game during his side's 2-1 away victory over Osasuna on Tuesday night.

The 35-year-old centre-back was an unused substitute in Pamplona as the BLaugrana secured their fifth successive win in Spanish La Liga.

The central defender received his marching orders after he confronted referee Jesus Gil Manzano on the pitch during half time before following the official the tunnel and continuing his protests.

According to Givemesports, Pique was livid by two crucial decisions taken by Manzano in the first at the El Sadar Stadium.

The first was the referee's decision to let Osasuna's goal stand in what looked like an infringement on Marcos Alonso in the build-up.

The former Spain international was also not happy a second yellow card was brandished in Robert Lewandowski‘s direction for a flying elbow into an Osasuna.

A video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, shows Pique was shown a straight red carded and prevented from featuring in what was supposed to be his last professional game in Barcelona colours.

The World Cup winner had countless chances to halt his behaviour towards the match official, but he kept taunting the experienced referee and pretty much left him with no other option.
