#2 Piquenbauer
After his arrival to Barcelona, Gerard Pique’s rise under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola was lauded by many fans and pundits alike. Such was his development that the media started likening him to the legendary Franz Beckenbauer.
The comparisons led to fans giving the Catalan a new nickname: Piquenbauer. When asked about the parallels drawn to him, the legendary German said that he was “honoured” that the Spaniard was linked to him.
He then went on to sing laurels about the former Manchester United defender, claiming that he is more than just a defender. He also said that the club of his life, Bayern Munich, would benefit a lot from his services.
