5) Gerard Pique (Barcelona)
Trending
He might have had a hand or two in Barca’s slump a few weeks ago, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has had yet another brilliant season for his club.
It is no coincidence that Barca’s successes have always coordinated with Gerard Pique’s rise in form. When he was at his worst, so were the Catalans as they had to endure the pain of finishing a season without winning in a single trophy back in 2014.
However, he is back to his best now and it is of no wonder why Barca are favourites to win a double this season.
With 1.4 tackles, 1.8 interception and 3.5 clearances in each game, he stands like a rock in a Barca team that is almost always in the opponent’s half. His alert nature doesn’t allow the opponent to hit back with the counters, helping Barca maintain the second best defensive record in La Liga this season.
