#3 Gerard Pique - 32 trophies won

Barcelona v Athletic Club - Copa del Rey Final

Gerard Pique is a member of the famed La Masia ‘class of 87’, but unlike his friend Lionel Messi, he first found success at Manchester United before returning to Barcelona.

In England, the 32-year-old won three trophies including the Premier League, before rejoining his friends in Catalaunya in Pep Guardiola’s first season in the summer of 2008.

With Barcelona, Pique has been an ever present in the heart of defense, first partnering Carlos Puyol and then a couple of other center-backs to help the Blaugrana to lift every trophy winnable.

A treble was won in his first season back at the club, while a second was won six years later in addition to numerous other titles.

On the international scene, Pique has also achieved immense success, winning the 2010 World Cup and 2012 EURO with La Furia Roja.

Though he announced his international retirement at the end of the 2018 World Cup, Pique would still play a major role in Barcelona for the next few seasons, guaranteeing that he would add to his impressive haul of 32 trophies.
