#4 Hristo Stoichkov
A Ballon d'Or winner, the Bulgarian had 2 stints with Barcelona in mid-1990 and won the Champions League and 5 league titles with the Blaugrana, appearing over 250 times and scoring 118 goals for the club.
His achievements on the international stage were truly astonishing as well, as he was the driving force behind leading an unfancied Bulgarian side to the semi-finals of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. His team were, unfortunately, knocked out by runners-up Italy. Stoichkov scored 6 goals at the tournament and won the golden shoe.
Known for his fiery demeanour on the pitch, he was often the first to argue with the referees for any decision that didn’t go his team’s way and was actually sued by one of his opponents for breaking his legs during a game.
