Gerard Pique has been one of the most consistent players in the world. The Catalan has won 7 La Liga titles, 5 Copa Del Rey titles and 2 UEFA Champions League trophies in this decade. He was also an integral part of the Spanish national side that won the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and UEFA Euro in 2012.

The former Manchester United star is a strong center back who likes to play the ball out from the back. The 32-year-old has excellent ball control, thrives in possession based system, is good in the air and duels and most importantly reads the game well.

On an individual level, he has been included in the UEFA Team of the Year 5 times and in the FIFPro XI 4 times in this decade. Pique has been one of the best defenders to have donned the Blaugrana and national team jersey.
