Chelsea winger Pedro has labelled Gerard Pique the best centre-back in the world.
The Spaniard put forward his former Barcelona team-mate as he hit back at reports in the media that he had named Sergio Ramos and Virgil van Dijk as the best in the world.
He wrote on Instagram: 'I want to explain to all my supporters that on yesterday’s press conference I did not say that Ramos and Van Dijk are the two best centre-backs in the world, as several media has said.
'I answered the question of what differences I see between them, so I talked about their skills and said that both of them are in good shape.
'But if you are asking about who is the best, if I have to select only one I would say Pique because I think he is the best active nowadays. The best centre-back I’ve ever played with is Puyol and the one I’ve liked the most.
'I want to explain that because there are a lot of commentaries about this issue and does not fit to what I really said. Now it’s time to focus on tonight's game.

Ramos is pure class defender...I love the class he posses and the power with which he tackles the player...his fearless attitude... Always ready to face challenges... A real leader material...a set piece threat..He gives everything he has...For me he is the best defender🔥🔥❤
