<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>‘s unparalleled career has been shaped not only by his extraordinary talent but also by the coaches who guided him at the club and international levels. Among the many influential figures he’s played under, Inter Miami’s captain pinpointed two names that stand above the rest.



In a 2020 interview with La Sexta, shortly before his departure from Barcelona, Messi shared how these two managers helped him evolve into the player he is today.



“I was unlucky, in a way, to have Guardiola and Luis Enrique so close together,” Messi explained. “Having them back-to-back so early in my career helped me grow a lot in terms of soccer and tactical understanding. They taught me so much.”



Reflecting on Pep Guardiola’s unique style, Messi added: “Pep has something special. I don’t know, he makes you see things differently. How he prepared games, both defensively and offensively—he’d tell you exactly where the game was and how to attack to win.”

Both Guardiola and Luis Enrique managed Messi during his time at Barcelona, leading the club to extraordinary success. Under their leadership, Messi won three UEFA Champions League titles—two with Guardiola and one with Luis Enrique. Notably, both managers guided Messi and Barcelona to historic trebles, securing the Champions League, La Liga, and Copa del Rey in the same season.

<h2>Guardiola’s praise for Messi</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pep-guardiola">Pep Guardiola</a> has never shied away from expressing his admiration for Messi. When asked recently to weigh in on the “greatest of all time” debate, the Manchester City manager didn’t hesitate to choose the Argentine star.



“Messi is the best player of all time,” Guardiola said during an October interview with Italian media. “Perhaps I’m being disrespectful to Pelé and Maradona, but I can’t imagine anyone like Messi with his consistency. He’s unique.”



Guardiola elaborated, “I saw that kid train every day and play every three days in an incredible way. When you see him up close, you realize what he really is. We’re lucky to be able to admire him. It’s pure beauty.”



<h2>Luis Enrique echoes Guardiola’s sentiments</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a>, another key figure in Messi’s career, has also spoken highly of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. In 2016, while managing Barcelona, Enrique famously said, “If Messi plays as a six, he’s the best six. If he plays as an eight, he’s the best eight. If he plays as a 10, he’s the best 10.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/inter-miami-star-lionel-messi-issues-strong-statement-on-fc-barcelonas-current-situation"></div>


During their time together, Messi and Luis Enrique achieved remarkable success, including the unforgettable treble in the 2014-15 season. Overall, the pair won nine titles: two La Liga championships, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, and three Copa del Rey trophies.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a> criticized Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona for playing “long balls” in a new documentary that follows his first season as PSG coach, during which they defeated the Catalans in the Champions League.



“Barça aren’t guaranteed to [dominate games], they haven’t in two seasons with Xavi,“ the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> coach said in the documentary titled ‘No tenéis ni p–a idea (You have no f—–g idea)’, which will be aired by Movistar+ in Spain next Monday, per ESPN.



“It’s a lie to say Barça were better, that’s completely false,” he said, after his team lost the first leg of the quarterfinals tie 2-3 in Parc des Prince. “They played long balls. [Goalkeeper Marc-André] ter Stegen broke the record for long passes — I think it was 24. They play like Eibar. It was all long balls. Call it the third man if you’re a fan of Xaxi.”



He also criticized their defense: “They aren’t a dominant team and they are not a good team defensively, either. They defend with bodies but they don’t have quality in defense.” After losing the first leg, PSG came back with a 4-1 win in the second leg at the Olympic Stadium in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona.</a>

The documentary also shows how the Spanish coach motivated Kylian Mbappe in an one-on-one talk. “You have to be a leader. You have to help us. Defend like a son of a b—h, lead by example, press… and we will be a f—–g machine,” he told him. While PSG was able to win the tie, they eventually were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the semifinal.



<h2>Luis Enrique said that Barcelona wanted him back</h2>



Luis Enrique also revealed that Barcelona, where he guided the team to a Treble in the 2014-15 season and claimed nine trophies over his three-year stint, contacted him regarding a potential comeback during the 2022-23 campaign.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/cristiano-ronaldos-dig-at-psg-while-discussing-kylian-mbappes-role-at-real-madrid"></div>


“They called [my agent Ivan de la Peña],” he explained. “I said to him: ‘Ask them what happens if Xavi wins LaLiga and the Copa, are they going to sack him?’ I already knew the answer,” he said.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> raised many eyebrows with his latest post on Instagram. Shortly after being subbed off only 63 minutes into the derby between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/olympique-marseille">Marseille</a>, the Frenchman shared a picture of the moment he left the field.



With his head looking down, with the captain’s armband off and no caption, his post was deemed somewhat cryptic and gave plenty to talk about on social media. Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0, but that was kind of overshadowed by this situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1008" height="742" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240401_BUS_115917_image_8ff45fa0.webp&amp;width=1008&amp;height=742" alt="" class="wp-image-115921" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image.png 1008w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-300x221.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-768x565.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px"></figure></figure>



Let’s keep in mind his future at the club looks uncertain. Mbappe, who reportedly decided not to trigger a player option for next season, runs out of contract in July. Word on the street is he will join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a free agent, though there’s no official confirmation yet.



<h2>Mbappe’s reaction to being subbed off during the PSG-OM derby</h2>



The 25-year-old has played the full 90 minutes in just one of his last seven matches. When he realized Gonçalo Ramos was coming on for him on Sunday, Mbappe looked quite upset.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">😳 La déception de Kylian Mbappé au moment de sortir à la 64e minute.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OMPSG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#OMPSG</a> <a href="https://t.co/7tWfEOJFKq">pic.twitter.com/7tWfEOJFKq</a>— Prime Video Sport France (@PVSportFR) <a href="https://twitter.com/PVSportFR/status/1774530014005878883?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



His reaction immediately went viral on the Internet, and his Instagram post only made something bigger out of this. Of course, PSG coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a> had to address questions about this situation his post-game press conference, but he wasn’t happy to be asked about it.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240306#BUS#109512"></div>


<h2>Luis Enrique explains why he subbed off Mbappe</h2>



“It’s the same music every single week, the same music… it’s so boring. I am the coach, I make the decisions every day, every week,” Enrique told Prime Video Sport. “I am going to do the same until my last day in Paris. I always try to find the best solution for my team. Even if you don’t (understand it), I don’t care. I don’t care at all”.



The Spanish coach had already explained a few weeks ago he was giving more playing time to other players so that the team could be prepared to play without Mbappe. That was taken by many as a sign that the striker is on the way out, but the manager is not ready to confirm that.



“I keep my hope about Mbappé staying at PSG. He hasn’t announced anything yet… he can change his mind, no? Imagine if we win four titles and Mbappé decides to stay at PSG… why not?,” Enrique said.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> took all the limelight in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a>‘s away game at Reims. The French superstar’s hat-trick made his side claim a 3-0 victory to lead the Ligue 1 standings, which is why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a>‘s comments in his post-game intrrview made a lot of noise.



“I’m not really happy with Kylian Mbappé today,” Enrique told Prime Video Sport France, via @PSG_Report. “On the goals, I have nothing to say. But he can help the team more, in a different way. I’ll talk to him about it first, I’ll never tell you what it is, because it’s private. Kylian is one of the best in the world but we need more. We want him to do more things.”



The Spaniard preferred to expand on why he feels like this, but he still made it clear that no hat-trick will prevent him from scolding Mbappe. Of course, it’s quite surprising that Enrique makes this kind of remark when the striker just helped the team claim a comfortable win, which also makes PSG top of the league.



The manager had no intention of making a big deal out of this, yet his mere sign of unhappiness with Mbappe already creates some sort of tension. But of course, he stressed that whatever is going on will be resolved in private. In the meantime, PSG fans should try and enjoy this triumph.

<h2>PSG fans agree with Luis Enrique</h2>



While Mbappe’s three goals gave PSG the win on Saturday, fans weren’t exactly pleased with the way he played throughout the game. Many users on X (Twitter) agree with Enrique, with some of them claiming that the 24-year-old needs to show more committment.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231103#BUS#82715"></div>


“Lucho is right. Whether we like it or not. Kylian needs to help out more and look for his teammates. Also on defense Mukiele would give him balls but Mbappe was no where near,” @lalo_827Marlins wrote. “Doesn’t track back, isn’t aggressive enough during the pressing, doesn’t pass to his teammates…so yeah a lot of things to talk about,” @fredohess added.



Gianluigi Donnarumma drew a lot of praise for his performance, since his saves prevented Reims from tying the match when PSG were leading just by one goal. But even when the Parisians extended their lead, the Italian keeper continued to make notable saves.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="654fcde4f2b571abd7e481cb" data-title="Do you agree with Luis Enrique\&apos;s remark about Mbappe?" data-options="2"></div>


“I totally agree he really didn’t do anything apart from the goals donnarumma win the game for us he deserve man of the match,” @al_master01 wrote. “Imagine if Mbappe wasn’t sefish and pressed more,” @Richard51251417 tweeted.



Of course, some users also stood up for Mbappe, emphasizing on the fact that he scored a hat-trick that made the team win.



<h2>What’s next for PSG</h2>



With their recent victory, Paris Saint-Germain lead the Ligue 1 standings with 27 points in 12 games (W8 D3 L1). Nice are just one point below them in second place, while Monaco are third with 23 points.



The latter will be their next opponents when the international break is over. PSG will return to action on Friday, November 24, when they welcome Monaco to Parc des Princes on Matchday 13 of the French league. Four days later, they will take on Newcastle in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Following a historic season that saw them win their first Scudetto in more than three decades, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/napoli">Napoli</a> are struggling in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serie-a">Serie A</a>. Team president Aurelio De Laurentiis admitted he’s not pleased with Rudi Garcia’s work so far, revealing he called many coaches before naming Luciano Spalletti’s replacement. Luis Enrique was one of them.



The Spaniard, however, ended up taking the reins of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a>, where he’s already being questioned by the press. The results haven’t been great so far, but the team’s style of play hasn’t been convincing either.



PSG are third in the Ligue 1, two points behind leaders Monaco, while they’re only <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/newcastle-mock-kylian-mbappe-after-destroying-psg-in-the-champions-league-20231005-BUS-72451.html">below Newcastle</a> in Group F of the UEFA Champions League. Even so, De Laurentiis seems to be relieved he didn’t hire Enrique.



<h2>De Laurentiis grateful Luis Enrique took over at PSG instead of Napoli</h2>



With Spalletti leaving Naples after a successful campaign, De Laurentiis said he called several managers before hiring Garcia, who is now on the hot seat. Luis Enrique was one of his candidates.



“I interviewed Thiago Motta, but he didn’t want to take the risk of replacing a coach who had achieved so much,” De Laurentiis said, via Repubblica. “I called Luis Enrique too and luckily he went to France. Look at the results he’s having. He didn’t convince me during a round of talks that lasted three days. I called many coaches.”



The former Barcelona coach, who led the Catalan side to the treble in the 2014-15 season, return to the dugout at PSG this season after falling short with Spain in the 2022 World Cup.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231006#BUS#72838"></div>


<h2>How many trophies has Luis Enrique won as manager?</h2>



Luis Enrique has achieved 9 titles as a coach, all of them at Barcelona.

It has been a crazy last two weeks for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kylian Mbappé</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSG</a>, stuck in a contract dispute both the player and the club have been mudslinging with PSG willing to sit Kylian Mbappé until the matter is resolved.



Kylian Mbappé is training by himself and will not be with the team in their first league match of the season. Still, if PSG wants to have any chance of competing for the UEFA Champions League it would be wise for them to square their issues with Mbappé.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230809#BUS#43500"></div>


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a> is also rumored to be on his way out with MLS or another European team interested in the Brazilian. Here is what Luis Enrique had to say regarding the PSG and Kylian Mbappé issue.



<h2>Luis Enrique on Kylian Mbappé</h2>



The PSG boss stated, “It is an issue that has already happened in the past, which was resolved positively between the club and the player, before I was here. I hope and wish that the club and player reach an agreement. I remember the president’s words: the club is above players and sports directors and I agree 100%”.



PSG has slowly become a graveyard for the world’s best players, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> left the club being jeered by the PSG fans and with bad relations with the board, since his arrival to MLS and Inter Miami, the Argentine seems rejuvenated.



Neymar is slowly following suit as he is unhappy with his treatment by the brass at PSG and now Kylian Mbappé, who arguably is the team’s top player, is pushed to the side as their contract dispute continues.

On June 6th it was reported that Christophe Galtier would no longer be the manager of PSG, but it has been about getting through the red tape the last few weeks. Galtier recently was arrested and accused of making a racial comment during his time at Nice.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230630#BUS#20652"></div>

<h2>Luis Enrique’s managerial record</h2>



Luis Enrique began his career in the Barcelona youth academy coaching Barcelona B before moving on to Roma in Serie A. After that in 2013 he took over Celta de Vigo before taking over Barcelona from 2014-2017. Most recently Luis Enrique coached Spain in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230702#BUS#22061"></div>


The former Spanish international has a 58.76 winning percentage and his best stint was at Barcelona where he led the Catalan giants to 9 championships. With Spain he coached the national team in two stints with his last one being heavily criticized for doing live streaming post World Cup matches. Spain had a disappointing World Cup being eliminated in the round of 16 to darlings Morocco.

According to Telemundo’s Veronica Brunati, PSG has their eyes on two coaches currently out of work, former Spain boss Luis Enrique and former PSG player and River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo.



<h2>Next coach for PSG?</h2>



According to Veronica Brunati, Luis Campos has already reached out to Gallardo’s camp to see the possibility of him coaching. Gallardo left River Plate at the end of last season after winning 14 titles with the famed Argentine club. Gallardo is reported as wanting his next step to be in Europe after winning titles with Nacional of Uruguay and River at the helm.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230310#CMS#0022"></div>


PSG’s reported first choice is Luis Enrique who had a dismal World Cup with Spain but PSG would be a good bounce back platform for the former Barcelona boss.

The team reached the Final Four at the Nations League and won Group B in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/What-is-the-latest-FIFA-ranking-after-the-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-20221222-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a> qualifiers after surviving two tough battles against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-why-is-zlatan-ibrahimovic-not-playing-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221112-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sweden</a>. It was a magnificent young generation of players led by names such as Pedri, Gavi or Ansu Fati.
However, the Qatar 2022 World Cup ended in utter failure. Though the hopes were high after a 7-0 victory in the opener with Costa Rica, the doubts arrived in a 1-1 tie against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-How-many-times-have-Germany-been-knocked-out-in-the-World-Cup-group-stage-20221201-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a> and an almost elimination thanks to a 2-1 loss facing Japan. Then, in the Round of 16, Spain were eliminated by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Sofyan-Amrabat-close-to-big-Premier-League-club-after-World-Cup-with-Morocco-20221225-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morocco</a> in a penalty shoot-out.
A few weeks later, Luis Enrique was out as coach of Spain. Immediately, his name became a hot topic in the European market considering all the success he had especially with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Report-Xavi-wants-to-bring-back-former-Barcelona-player-20230111-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FC Barcelona</a>.

<h2>Who will sign Luis Enrique as their new coach?</h2>
According to a report from Diario Sport, Luis Enrique is at the top of the list of candidates to take over as coach of Brazil. Tite left after the Qatar 2022 World Cup and, as a consequence, that spot has become totally coveted.
There have been many names linked to Brazil in the last few weeks such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Pep-Guardiola-Zinedine-Zidane-Carlo-Ancelotti-Why-do-European-top-coaches-turn-down-Brazil-job-20230108-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zinedine Zidane</a>, Jose Mourinho, Fernando Diniz or Mauricio Pochettino. TheBrazilian Football Confederation could announce the final decision in the next days.
Luis Enrique has been related also to Atletico Madrid considering Diego Simeone could leave the team after more than a decade. Though they are five-time champions, Brazil haven’t won the World Cup since Japan-Korea in 2002.

Luis Enrique could get huge offer to be the new coach of a World Cup champion - Bolavip US

Though Marco Asensio hasn’t played a lot of minutes with Real Madrid in La Liga, the truth is he was a fundamental name for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-the-record-of-most-goals-scored-in-a-world-cup-game-by-one-team-20221123-0045.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/world-cup-2022-simulator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022 World Cup</a>. Nevertheless, with a possible elimination on the line, Luis Enrique changed his mind and has surprised everyone.
Spainhad everything under control and then theWorld Cupgot a little bit complicated. They won 7-0 againstCosta Ricaand had a 1-0 lead in their second game with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-why-is-timo-werner-not-playing-for-germany-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221112-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a>.

Read here to find out why Marco Asensio is not starting and all the changes made by Luis Enrique.
<h2>Why is Marco Asensionot playing in Spainvs Japan?</h2>
Luis Enrique decided to shake his starting lineup in order to clinch a ticket to the Round of 16. So, as part of all these tactical changes, Marco Asensio is one of the players going to the bench. Spain present a new attack for the game against Japan considering Ferran Torres won’t start either. The responsibility goes to Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams.
By the way, Jordi Alba is another player who is not in thisstarting lineup for Spain:Unai Simon, Cesar Azpilicueta, Rodri, Pau Torres, Alejandro Balde, Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo, NicoWilliams and Alvaro Morata.
Spain clinch the first place of Group E with a win over Japan and then would have to face Croatia in the Round of 16. If they finish as runner-up, Spain would clash with Morocco, but justin case Luis Enrique’s squad aren’t eliminated by a loss and a combinations of results in Germany-Costa Rica.

Qatar 2022: Why is Marco Asensio not starting for Spain vs Japan?

Qatar 2022: Why is Marco Asensio not starting for Spain vs Japan? - Bolavip US

The moment we’ve been waiting for the last four (and a half) years is just nine days away from us. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-all-32-teams-home-and-away-jerseys-for-the-fifa-world-cup-20220626-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> is finally about to get started, which is why most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-managers-of-the-32-national-teams-qualified-for-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220628-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national team managers</a> have already submitted their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/fifa-world-cup-30-amazing-records-and-stats-to-keep-in-mind-for-qatar-2022-q22-20220908-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a> squads.
The tournament kicks off on November 20, when the host country takes on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/el-tricolor-ecuadors-25-greatest-players-20221104-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecuador</a> in the inaugural game. From then on, the group stage action will continue until December 2, with the knockout stage starting on Dec. 3.
Needless to say, every team’s goal is to reach the grand final on Dec. 18 — but there’s a long way to go before that. Only a handful of teams are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-ea-sports-predicts-world-cup-winner-using-simmed-games-on-fifa-23-20221108-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predicted</a> to win the trophy, and though many prefer to stay humble, a manageris heading to Qatar with plenty of confidence in himself.
<h2>Confident Luis Enrique says he’s the best coach in the Qatar 2022 World Cup</h2>
When announcing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-spain-submits-worldcuproster-20221111-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain‘s World Cup squad</a> to the press, Luis Enrique revealed his mentality ahead of the World Cup. Though he acknowledged his comment would spark controversy, Enrique said he has to see himself as the best coach ever.
“There is no better national coach than me, in the history of world football. That’s what I believe, obviously it’s not true, but I can’t doubt that,” Enrique said, via Dermot Corrigan of The Athletic.

“I can’t have doubts, if I have to convince my players of the idea of how we will play,” he added. However, he immediately realized his words would probably go viral. “Madre mia, that’ll be the headline, I don’t care, I like it.”
Enrique has certainly won a reputation as one of the world’s best managers, with Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba among thosewho mentioned him as the best coach in their careers. But his roster, which overlooks the likes of Sergio Ramos and David De Gea, has given plenty to talk about.

Here, let’s break down some of the best to have worn both uniforms.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-48"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Ronaldo</h2>
The Brazilian legend has spent only a season in Barcelona but it was one to remember, as he scored an impressive 34 goals in 37 league matches. Ronaldo, who also <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/hakan-calhanoglu-joins-rivals-best-players-to-play-for-inter-and-milan-20210623-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">played both</a> for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/inter-t127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inter</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ac-milan-t27122" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AC Milan</a>, joined Real Madrid in 2002. He won four titles and racked up 104 goals in 177 appearancesin his fiveseasonsinthe Spanish capital.
<h2>Luis Figo</h2>
Joining the rivals could be seen as a betrayal and fans may never forgive you for that. If not, ask Luis Figo, whose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-joins-psg-13-superstars-who-have-left-barcelona-on-bad-terms-20210811-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversial departure</a> from Barca to sign for Real Madridmade him lose all the love from Los Cules. He went on to be part of Los Galacticos, winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a>.
<h2>Bernd Schuster</h2>
But Figo wasn’t the only one who joined the rivals directly from Barcelona. Bernd Schuster did it before him in 1988. His career was full of controversial situations but also of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/who-is-more-successful-barcelona-or-real-madrid-20211017-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">success</a>, as he enjoyed great results both with Barca and El Merengue.

<h2>Luis Enrique</h2>

</div>
Beforemaking his way into Barcelona’s history books, Luis Enrique played for Real Madrid between 1991 and 1996. He won three titles and scored23 times in 241appearances, but those numbers would get much better in Barca. Five trophies and<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/el-clasico-all-time-top-goalscorer-20211017-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">115 goals</a> in 333 matchesmade him a fan favorite, a love he renewed many years later as manager. At the helm of a team with the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/neymar-t25325" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neymar</a>, and Luis Suarez (the famous MSN) he delivered nine trophies.
<h2>Samuel Eto’o</h2>
His spell in Real Madrid may have gone unnoticed, but Samuel Eto’o played in the Spanish capital before shining at Barcelona. He played only seven games without scoring, and many years later, after a fantastic rise in Mallorca, he chose Los Cules over Madrid.
<h2>Michael Laudrup</h2>
Another player who switched Barca for Real Madrid, Michael Laudrup thrived at Camp Nou buthis bad relationship with Johan Cruyff made him leave the club in 1994, five years later after joining Los Cules from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus</a>.
<h2>Javier Saviola</h2>

Following a promising breakthroughin <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/river-t27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">River Plate</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a>‘s U20s, Barcelona acquired Javier Saviola, who amassed 74 goals in 172 appearances in his four seasons at the club. But, after loan spells in Monaco and Sevilla, he didn’t renew with Barca and joined Real Madrid, where he spentonly two seasons and scored five goals in 31 appearances.
Gheorghe Hagi, Julen Lopetegui, Robert Prosinecki, Alfonso Perez, Nando Muñoz, Luis Milla, Albert Celades, Daniel Garcia, and Ricardo Zamora were other players who worn both shirts. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/gerard-pique-reveals-which-real-madrid-star-came-close-to-joining-barcelona-20211019-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A current Real Madrid star was close to joining Barcelona</a> as well, but that didn’t happen and he will face them this weekend in a game that will be broadcast by <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/2743850/1161082/9070" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ESPN+</a> in the US.
