Barcelona defender Gerard Pique confirms international retirement

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has confirmed his international retirement.

Pique will no longer be involved with Spain following the summer's World Cup, despite ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique taking charge.

"I spoke with Luis Enrique a few days ago," Pique said at the press conference.

"He called me and I told him that my decision was made some time ago.

"I am happy with how my international career went, but now I want to focus on Barcelona."
