#1 Gerard Piqué (Barcelona)
When you rank 10th among the most capped FC Barcelona players of all-time, you have to bow down to such incredible consistency in their level of performances. Gerard Piqué is the ultimate professional and has been for many years; the Spaniard is a driving force for both club and country and maintains professionalism at all times.

Piqué has seen it all at Barcelona, especially the two bleak years in recent seasons, but he has helped rejuvenate his team and now they look like they are on their way to yet another Spanish LaLiga title.
He is one of few Barcelona players who has the height to command the ball in the air and be a defensive rock when defending crosses, and he is just that. Piqué is also deceptively quick across the ground and is always ready to make a last-ditch tackle to thwart any danger.
Piqué is simply the best defender in the world right now.
