Gerard Pique has been booked 13 times this season

Barcelona have been lacking in defence this season. Their centre-backs have received a total of 23 yellow cards and 2 red cards across all competitions.

Pique has born the brunt of the bookings, with 13 yellows. He's followed by Clement Lenglet, 7 yellows, and 1 red card. Samuel Umtiti has three yellows. B team defender Ronald Araujo was sent off on his one appearance, against Sevilla in La Liga.

Pique's bookings aren't a record - yet. He was booked 17 times across all comps in 2015-16. 12 in Liga, 3 in UCL and 2 in Copa.

Pique has already missed a game for suspension (Eibar v Barca) and is one booking away from having another rest. In the Champions League, he also missed Barca-Dortmund.

Pique, who was booked 7 times in 2018-19, 12 times in 17-18, and 8 in 16-17, is playing without much protection and with a lot of space to cover.
