#3 Considered Fernando Hierro his idol
Trending
Being a centre-back, this might not sound as the most astonishing fact about the Catalan defender. However, considering the fact that he has grown up despising the Galacticos, it makes it a tad bit surprising to find the name of Real Madrid legend in his icons’ list.
But think about it, it makes sense. Hierro was a world class centre-half in his day, a point of reference for any aspiring defender. He was also a classy gentleman that was respected by even rival fans, which is perhaps why Pique idolised him.
Finally, it also seems like Pique channelled his goal-scoring instincts by dissecting the former Real Madrid captain, who, till this day, remains the club’s best ever goal-scoring defender with 127 goals in 14 years.
