#5 Diego Maradona

Considered to be one of the greatest players of all time, Diego Maradona moved to Barcelona in 1982 for a then world record transfer fee of £5 million. Maradona provided some absolute moments of magic most notably in a match against Real Madrid where he became the first Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from the Real Madrid fans.

Maradona was at the peak of his powers in 1982, but, the Barcelona team failed to truly dominate in Maradona’s era at Barcelona. However, Maradona did help Barcelona win Copa Del Rey in 1983 and he always seemed to step up in big matches for the Catalans.

One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona did provide some notable moments in the number 10 jersey for Barcelona, but he failed to inspire Barcelona to the La Liga title.
