Gheorghe "Gica" Popescu (Romanian pronunciation: ['ge?orge 'd??ik? po'pesku]; born 9 October 1967) is a retired Romanian former professional football defender, former captain of FC Barcelona and key part of the Romania national team in the 1990s.
He played for a string of European clubs in that period, including a four-year stint at PSV Eindhoven.
His tactical knowledge as a defender made him a valuable team member in top European competitions until he reached his late-thirties.
Beside from his defending skills, he was also capable starting attacks.
He is the brother-in-law of fellow Romanian international Gheorghe Hagi.
