It's okay if you cannot strike the right chord with each one of your subordinates at your workplace. However, professionalism is when those personal grudges don't affect the quality of the work you are forced to do together. Emilio Butragueno and Hugo Sanchez showed the world just that.

Off the pitch, they hardly got on with each other, but on it, they were penetrators second to none. Playing together between 1985 to 1992, the duo racked goals that helped Real Madrid dominate Spain never before.

They won the league title five years in a row between 1985 and 1990. However, the European success during their days was hard to come by, as they could win only two UEFA Super Cups together.

Butragueno and Sanchez were individualistic in their approach as they aimed at increasing their personal goal tallies rather than helping each other out frequently. In a combined span of 597 games, they scored 331 goals. Can't blame them for not getting along, can you?
