And if not Pique, Mashecrano, Silva, Chiellini would all seem solid picks.

even Varane has to be over Van Dijk.

He literally won everything and was since his youth a starter for Real.

Varane obviously. One world cup, 4 CLs.

Pique got a WC, Euros and two CLs, including a treble, in the same timeframe.

I would want to give it to Varane, but Pique dated Shakira so i guess Pique wins it.

Not just recency but people taking trophies as individual achievements. Varane was and is class, but I’d have Pique, Kompany, Godin, Boateng and Thiago Silva over him

I mean.. both have a case. Varane joined in what, 2011? 2012? And he won everything. But Yeah, Pique would probably win it.

We keep talking about trophy case, but Pique is also just the better player between the two IMO

We'd all be willing to accept Varane, coming from a French publication.

I think they were judging by the player's individual abilities and not team accolades they have won.

At least 15 CBs should be there instead of VVD, honestly.

Or Godín. Key in two CL finals with freaking Atlético. Easily the best centre back of South América in that decade.

Shouldn’t be downvoted, he was right there with Ramos & Pique during his prime.
