5 Barcelona superstars who need to step up in LaLiga right now

#2 Gerard Pique

Pique has committed too many defensive errors in the Spanish top flight this term

Forming a perfect partnership with Samuel Umtiti at the heart of Barcelona's defense, Spanish International Gerard Pique impressed in the Spanish top flight during the previous campaign as the Catalans strolled to the LaLiga title.

But it is quite obvious that Pique has been far from his usual best ever since the beginning of the new season, failing to match the intensity of opposition attackers, struggling with his clearances, as well as committing too many errors which opponents have exploited to stun the Catalans in recent LaLiga matches.

The defender was singled out for blame during Barcelona's 2-2 draw with Girona after his mistakes gifted their neighbours 2 vital goals in the encounter, and his performances against the likes of Leganes and Athletic Bilbao weren't impressive either, causing the Catalans to lose a whopping 7 points in their last 3 games.
