Figo was heavily criticized for his switch between Real Madrid and Barcelona

After spending a brief period with Barcelona, Figo moved to Real Madrid, for a then-record transfer of €62 million, making him the most expensive footballer in the world. The move was ignited after much speculation, and he heavily criticiszed by the Barcelona supports to the extent that flares, oranges, plastic bottles, and even stones were thrown at the appearance of the former Portuguese International in any El Clasico match. His direct move to Madrid sparked a lot of controversies other than the ones mentioned above, as it was something that the Barcelona fans considered as being 'unnatural'.
