That result brings to a close Gerard Pique's long and illustrious career. And also the end of this live text.

Thanks for joining us, until next time.

Goodnight.

That's that, folks.

A routine win for Barcelona but an emotional one for Gerard Pique as he plays his final match at the Nou Camp.

The Catalan giants move clear of Real Madrid by two points at the top of La Liga.

Clever ball over the top from Frenkie de Jong which finds Jordi Alba but it's right on the goalpost and too tight of an angle for Alba.

Bit of cramp setting in for the Almeria players.

We've got five minutes of added time to go.

That's because Gerard Pique hugged A LOT of people as he was leaving the pitch and taking his place on the bench.

Final few minutes at the Nou Camp.

Almeria will be pleased to have kept the scoreline to a pretty respectable one.

Routine win for Barcelona, though. They will go to the top of La Liga before Real Madrid play Rayo Vollecano on Monday.

Emotional scenes at the Nou Camp as Gerard Pique waves his final farewell to the home fans. He embraces his Barcelona team mates and is clearly emotional as he leaves the iconic pitch to a standing ovation from the 92,000 fans inside the ground.

He's replaced by Andreas Christensen.

616 appearances for Barcelona, 30 trophies. Not a bad innings.

Lovely bit of play between Frenkie de Jong and Robert Lewandowski on the edge of the area but it amounts to nothing.

Alejandro Balde tries a shot from range but it's straight down the throat of Fernando Martinez.

Final 10 minutes in Barcelona and Gerard Pique's (home) career is coming to a close. Every pass he makes is being clapped, currently.

Worth remembering that he could play against Osasuna on Tuesday but this is his last game at the Nou Camp.

Final substitution for Almeria as Lucas Robertone makes way for Francisco Portillo.

Raphinha does well on the right-hand side. He cuts in on his right foot and plays in a lovely ball to Ansu Fati but the youngster can't get a shot off.

It comes back out to Raphinha again who goes for goal himself this time but it's a simple save.

Almeria goalkeeper Fernando Martinez makes another superb save. Ansu Fati somehow manages to get a foot to Raphinha's cross and it's stopped by a finger tip save from Martinez.

He was offside anyway but great save, he's been pretty busy tonight.

Almeria have only scored three goals on the road, they've picked up just one point from a possible 18 away from home.

They have managed to keep this to a pretty respectable scoreline so far, though.

Ansu Fati has the ball in the back of the net but he's clearly miles offside.

Couple of changes now for Barca.

Ousmane Dembele makes way for Raphinha and Sergio Busquets comes off for Gavi.

Inigo Eguaras and Arnau Puigmal replace Rodrigo Ely and Gonzalo Melero for Almeria.

Ohhh wow.

A stunning chip from Robert Lewandowski to Pedri who finds Ansu Fati but it's straight at the goalkeeper.

The ball comes back in at the far post and it's Lewandowski on the receiving end ths time but his header sails over the bar.

Ansu Fati is coming on for Ferran Torres.

He's had a few chances the Spain forward, but not been able to make much of them.

He doesn't look too happy to be coming off.

Oh lovely looping ball from Ferran Torres who picked out Alejandro Balde but the youngster was backing up and didn't get a solid connection with the header.

Moments later Ousmane Dembele has a chance to get a second but he takes too long over the shot with the Almeria defence all over the shop.

Big miss there from the Frenchman.

Still all Barcelona.

Robert Lewandowski goes down on the edge of the box and wants a free-kick but the referee waves it away.

Almeria have the chance to break but give it away in the middle of the park.

Couple of substitutions for Almeria happened at half time.

Dyego Sousa and Leo Baptistao replaced Kaiky and Srdjan Babic.
