Gerard Pique is one of the most famous players on the planet, but there’s a lot you might not know about one of La Liga’s most interesting personalities.

1. Gerard Pique is one of the few players in history to win back-to-back Champions Leagues with different clubs
Today he’s an icon at Barcelona, his childhood club. But it’s easy to forget that he hasn’t spent his entire career at the Camp Nou. After coming through the ranks at the club’s famed La Masia academy he joined Manchester United in 2004 aged just 17. There he won the Champions League in 2008 before moving back to Barcelona that summer and winning it again in 2009, becoming only the third player in history to do so after Marcel Desailly and Paulo Sousa. Since then he’s added two more Champions League titles (2011, 2015), taking his tally to four.
