He is one of the greatest defenders in the world in the 2010s when he was still at the peak of his playing career.
Gérard Piqué, the former Barça defender, was for many years a key man in the success of the Catalan club between 2009 and 2015.
The ex-husband of Colombian artist Shakira was also part of the golden generation of the 2010s which reigned over international football.
Winner of the Euro and the World Cup, Piqué had the chance to win almost everything collectively as a player.
Playing for a club against Barca made him face some very tall strikers in La Liga Champions League matches.
Asked which attacker gave him the most difficulty as a defender, the Spaniard cited two names.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba are the two players that Gérard Piqué first cited as the opponents who made his task more difficult.
“Playing for Barça means that every match is against the best teams in the world.
At the time, it was Cristiano Ronaldo and Drogba. There were a lot of attackers with a very high level.
They were fast, strong, big. They scored a lot of goals. We had to be more than prepared and very focused throughout the match”said the former Man Utd.
