Gerard Pique attacked over shirt sleeves; ready to quit international football

Spain defender Gerard Pique has said he will quit international football following the 2018 World Cup after admitting the criticism he received over modifying his national team shirt this weekend was the final straw.

The Barcelona defender came under fire on social media for cutting short the long sleeves of his shirt for Spain's World Cup qualifier in Albania, with suggestions it was done to avoid wearing the band showing the country's flag colours of red and yellow.
