Gerard Pique's partner Shakira says the Catalan defender is the best centre-back in the world, following Barcelona's 4-0 win in El Clasico on Sunday.Pique has struggled with his form this season, but played a key role to keep a clean sheet for Barcelona against Real Madrid on a special night at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.Gerard won't let me say these things publicly," started Shakira in a post on Instagram.

"But, only he with his heroism can play like this, overcoming any injury or pain and always giving his best.

"It's not because he's my husband, but he's the best centre back in the world."

This lady still with pique? Commitment

am a barca fan bt no understand how pique take b best defender in d world wen e cnt even mk best defender in la liga.

It is Barca's time...let her shine

No doubt Pique is underrated though.
Maybe because he has most of his life played with extra ordinary and talented footballers and defenders From puyol to mascharano to zambrotta to iniesta to xavi to Messi so his name and achievement has really been overshadowed by the players around him.
Be that as it may, Pique is one of the most consistent footballers in modern day football, when we speak of consistency and playing football at a high level, we just mention players like Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and co but we have failed to mention that pique has been doing this for more than 15 years now and still doing it at the very highest level.
Is there anything he hasn't won in life?
He has won every thing and every cup that football has got to offer, from the FIFA world cup to the champions league to the UEFA nations cup to the FIFA world club cup.
He has been named amongst fifa world eleven on many occasions.
Apart from that he is a very successful business man who is a very good friend to Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.
There are reports that he is a billionaire In the making because he is a co owner of a billion dollars company which he has managed to keep secret from his football career.
Pique is a leader not just in Barcelona, he is a Leader in the combine states that made up the Catalans who seek independence from Spain.
He is the voice of the Catalan people, he is that powerful that pique only can stage a protest and the Catalan people will follow.
Pique is one of the most influencial man in the whole of Spain. He is amongst what we call the few elites, the 1% controlling the country.
The combine influence and wealth of pique and his wife makes them one of the most powerful couple in the world.

He is going to be the president of Barcelona someday which we already know that to be a fact and if indeed the people of Catalan breaks away from Spain then be rest assured that he will one day be a president to the Catalan country.

And he is a family man, irrespective of all his wealth and Influence and handsomeness, he has proven to be a family man who has stayed faithful to his wife who is Shakira.
This man has given his all to Barcelona, he deserves more accolades and the day he retires, his name will never be forgotten.

Long live pique.

He is not even close to top ten, but I give it to him for being loyal to Barcelona all these years.
