#2 Gerrard Pique
The critics were sharp toward the Spanish defender at the beginning of the season due to the player's series of schoolboy errors and shaky displays. Fortunately, Pique has responded brilliantly since. He quickly regained his best form and now even deserves to be listed as one of Barcelona's best performers.
His efficient, no-nonsense defending and leadership has helped Barcelona a lot to maintain an excellent defensive record. The Catalans have conceded less than a goal per game in the league this season thanks to the formidable partnership between the defenders.
Pique recently showed his resolute defending once again at his Champions League battle against a deadly Liverpool side. He made no considerable mistake while maintained an important clean sheet against the Reds.
Aside from his defending, his 91 percent passing accuracy has helped Barcelona to build attacks from behind and as well frustrated the opposing attackers. He also involved in 6 goals combined at Champions and domestic league, an excellent goalscoring record for a center back.
