On Sunday, Gerard Pique notched his 500th appearance for Barcelona in the club's 5-2 win over Real Betis. In the aftermath of that win, he came second in a local High Roller poker tournament at the Casino of Barcelona, winning €352,950.

So, yeah, not a bad bank holiday. And it's about to get a whole lot better for the Catalonian. For right now, right here, I shall put forward his case for being the defining central defender of the decade.
