Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has been fined almost €50,000 for driving with a suspended licence.

Pique appeared before a judge on Monday and was ordered to pay the fine for the incident, which happened in August.

His license was not valid when he was stopped by police during a random check in Barcelona, having been suspended because of an excessive number of traffic infractions.

The sentence specifies that Pique must pay €200 daily for eight months.
