Gerard Pique one of the best defenders in the world currently, has won everything there is to win in football both at a club and international level. Pique sought a move away from boyhood club Barcelona at a tender age of 16 for more game time and joined Manchester United and served as a good backup to Rio Ferdinand.
With United, Pique claimed his first Champions League medal in 2008 and was an unused substitute in the final against Chelsea. Pique, seeking more game time again, left United after four years and rejoined Barcelona, where he would go on to cement his place as one of Spain's greatest central defenders.
In his first season at Barcelona, under the then new manager Pep Guardiola, Pique went on to beat former side United in the final of the 2009 edition of the tournament, to win his second consecutive Champions League trophy.
