The Barcelona defender said he would stop playing for Spain if anybody at the Spanish Football Federation asked him to do so.

One Spain supporter, Federico, said:“We are fed up of him being a hypocrite. He might have his own ideas that’s fine but keep it outside of the national team.”

Another Spain fan, Blat Perez, said: “I think it’s a tough situation. I guess it must be tough for Pique but people are going after him in a very strong way.”

The 30-year-old has won the World cup and European Championships during his career.

Spain face Albania in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
