Gerard Pique may have retired from playing for Spain in 2018 but he was still in international action on Monday.
The Barcelona defender, a World Cup and European Championship winner with Spain, played for Catalonia in a friendly against Venezuela.
Catalonia are not recognised by football governing bodies Fifa or Uefa so the match does not have official status but was played in front of a near capacity crowd in Girona.
It is Pique's 10th cap for the region and his first since he retired from playing for Spain following the 2018 World Cup.
Catalonia won the game 2-1 with Stoke City striker Bojan scoring the opening goal.
Venezuela, who beat Lionel Messi's Argentina last week, equalised through Roberto Rosales but Espanyol's Javi Puado scored the winner for the home side in the 87th minute.
