The Barcelona defender made the announcement ahead of Sunday’s Supercopa de Espana clash with Sevilla, revealing he had informed new national team boss Luis Enrique of his decision during a conversation between the pair.

“I spoke with Luis Enrique and told him that my decision has been made,” Pique told the media.

“I had a really nice time with the Spain team, and I’m very happy to have been part of the success.”

Pique - who reached his international century during the 2018 World Cup in Russia - was part of the successful squads that won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
