It can’t be easy to play next to a legend like Carles Puyol for years and stand out at the same time, but 27-year-old Gerard Piqué completely succeeded and managed to create one of the defence couples with more chemistry on the field. With his impressive height and his ability to act as a midfielder when required, Piqué is one of the best defenders Barcelona has had over the past few years.
