#2 Oleguer - Left back

Oleguer

Oleguer was more famous for his off-field antics rather than his on-field contributions. The proud Catalan spent six years at Barcelona playing in the left back position. He had a couple of good seasons for the club before the year in which they won the Champions League.

But playing the final against Arsenal in 2006, the most important game for Barcelona in recent years he let his team down. Freddie Ljunberg caused him all sorts of problems on the wing and the Spaniard couldn't contain him whatsoever.

His horror moment came when Arsenal won a corner and Campbell headed them in front on the night. It was the Left-back's poor marking that let him score in the first place. Inevitably he was replaced by Juliano Belletti in the 71st minute and he ironically came on to score the equalizing goal, saving Oleguer's blushes in the process.
