    One of the great defenders of the modern age, Barcelona and Spain legend Gerard Pique won 30 trophies during his stellar career.

    Gerard Pique is a former Spanish international who played as a centre-back for Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Zaragoza.

    Pique spent the majority of his youth career in Barcelona's academy but joined Manchester United before signing his first professional contract. He played for the Red Devils from 2004-2008, going on loan to Real Zaragoza in 2006/07.
    Pique struggled to dislodge Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the Manchester United defence and went back to Barcelona ahead of the 2008/09 season.

    The centre-back was an instant success upon his return to Barcelona, starring for the club under managers Pep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova, Luis Enrique and Ernesto Valverde among others.

    He called time on his career at the age of 35-year-old in November 2022, and is seen as one of the greatest centre-backs of all time, having won everything there is to win in Spanish football - both for club and country.

    His trophy highlights include the World Cup, the European Championship, four Champions Leagues, eight La Liga trophies, seven Spanish Cups and a Premier League title.
