Few players typify the modern-day Barcelona side as Gerard Piqué, signed at the end of the 07-08 season, it was a move that brought the still young defender full-circle, after leaving the club as a youngster to join Manchester United.
The period he signed in was one of massive transformation, going or gone were the stars of the past, Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o, and in their place was those willing to bend to Guardiola's vision, your Iniesta's, Xavi's, and, of course, the genius that is Messi.
Pique was a huge part of the success that flooded the club in the following years, able to contribute both in defence and attack, big, strong, pacey, and a comfortable passer, he was the perfect centre-back for a Guardiola side.
Now, as part of the La Liga Team of the Season, FIFA 21 players can get a Flashback version of Pique that celebrates him at his very best when he was included in the FIFA 17 Team of the Season, a season in which they won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
