Pique to make 550th Barca appearance in game with Alaves

This Saturday's match will be a very special one for Gerard Pique. The Catalan central defender will make his 550th appearance for Barcelona in the away match at Alaves.

The 33 year-old veteran defender will go past Migueli's 549 and will move into sixth place when it comes to players with the most number of appearances for Barca.

Pique is set to play many more games for the club because his contract does not expire until summer 2024.

Xavi is top of the list with 767 games followed by Lionel Messi on 738. Andres Iniesta (674), Puyol (593) and Busquets (586) make up the top five.
