#3 Gerard Pique
When the season began, Gerard Pique was one of those Barcelona players who faced criticism due to a slow start but that wasn't going to last for long as the defender picked himself up quickly to become one of Barca's standout players for the season - thanks to his consistent brilliant efforts.
While Barca have been scoring freely across every competition this season, Pique has also ensured that they do not let in many goals - producing rock-solid displays at the back and utilizing his experience to nullify opposition attacks.
The Spaniard also deserves a lot of credit for making Clement Lenglet feel at home at the heart of Barca's defense while forming a formidable partnership with the Frenchman that has seen club concede just once in the Champions League knockout stage this season.
