#1 Gerard Pique (Barcelona)
The Barcelona man is arguably the best centre-back in world football at the moment. He struggled after the retirement of his Barcelona and Spain teammate, Carlos Puyol, but has regained his best form.
Trending
He is a technically gifted defender, known for his ball playing abilities and physical attributes. He is a strong defender, exceptionally good in the air. With only 13 goals conceded in La Liga, Barcelona has the best defensive record for all teams in Europe's top 5 leagues, thanks to the commanding presence of Gerard Pique at the back.
Pique is an intelligent defender, who has matured with age. He is comfortable on the ball and often plays the role of a sweeping centre-back. Without any doubt, he is definitely one of the best centre-backs of all time.
