Defence
Alves is still arguably the best full-back in the world
Dani Alves
Dani Alves spent 8 years at the Nou Camp, making 391 appearances for the club and won 23 trophies along the way. However, the Brazilian left the club during the summer of 2016 and joined the Italian giants Juventus. He lifted the Serie A title during his one year stay at the club and also led them to the finals of UEFA Champions League.
He then moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. Even at the age of 34, Alves is one of the best right-backs in the world. "I have to say that I did not feel as comfortable anymore at Barca," Alves told the official FIFA website. "Things changed at a club level, and as time went on, I always seemed to be the one in the firing line."
Laurent Blanc
Laurent Blanc joined Barcelona in 1996 but the departure of Johan Cruyff immediately after his arrival played a major part in his disappointing stay at the Camp Nou. He left the club in 1997, just 12 months after his arrival.
He was a high-scoring defender, known for his ability to read the game, anticipation, and technical ability. He was excellent in the air and has scored 130 goals in his senior career. Though he left Barcelona at the age of 31, he produced some brilliant football in his next six seasons at Marseille, Inter Milan, and Manchester United. He also lifted the Premier League title with Manchester United in his last senior season.
Miguel Angel Nadal
Dubbed by British tabloids as the "Beast of Barcelona", Miguel Angel Nadal lifted five La Liga, two Copa del Rey and the 1992 European Cup with the Catalan giants during his eight years stay at the Camp Nou. He was the defensive lynchpin of Johan Cruyff’s “Dream Team.”
Though he left Barcelona only at the age of 33, he played six full seasons at Mallorca, making 149 La Liga appearances. It took a while for Barcelona to find his ideal replacement and they could have used Miguel for few more seasons. He retired at the age of 39, with 487 La Liga appearances.
