Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says he hasn't changed his mind after international retirement.
Pique intends to quit Spain after the 2018 World Cup.
"I've read that comments on social media and headlines in Madrid based sports papers AS and Marca have contributed to my decision but I can only reiterate that the decision was mine alone," said Pique.
"I've spent ten years with the national team and now feel that the time is right to call time on my international career."
