Pique has been one of the most important players for Barcelona without a doubt and this match was no different. His defensive strategy and hard-work were on show as he defended with all his heart and lots of passion. He wasn't shy of meaty tackles and even got bruised up a bit in a hefty tackle where he lunged in, won the ball cleanly but had a collision with an opposition's player. He started limping and got the staff and Barca fans worried for quite some time but got better shortly.

He defended unapologetically through the whole match and the man he is, ran all the way up to the opposition's box with the ball to join the attack. His run was very impressive and just as it looked he looked like he was going to take a shot, he dummied the ball in the path of Vidal who got a good chance, took a shot on goal but a Levante defender blocked it.

Pique managed a staggering 93% passing completion rate along with winning one aerial duel.

Pique got his clean sheet and the trophy which made the night perfect, at least for now. The real challenge is coming up against Liverpool and he would have to put on a great show.
