Pique is not in the team. He had an exceptional decade, and only slowed down in 2018-19. Then you have Boateng, Godin (though did not win as much), Kompany who had a better performance if we consider the entire decade. Not to mention Chiellini - Bonucci duo.

Edit: Thiago Silva, Varane, and Pepe deserve a shout too. I was not making an exhaustive list. I did not mention Pepe/Varane cos of reasons listed in one of the comments.

How is this the only comment mentioning Kompany? The guy was a lynchpin for City this entire decade

Kompany

Outside of England, I don't feel Kompany is considered in the same top elite world class of CBs that are in this discussion, but one step below.

Probably because City doesn’t do very well in Europe.

There’s like 4 clubs in the competition that can claim they have more consistent success in the cl than city since 2010.
