There is no greater pain for a fan than to see their idol dressed in the colors of the rival. The feeling of frustration and betrayal that pervades the heart of a follower when he sees his hero wearing the skin of historical rival seem indescribable. Barcelona and Real Madrid are fighting a Spanish edition of the Classic, one of the most anticipated matches throughout the year, not only in the Iberian Peninsula but throughout the world by the feeling that all over the globe, this rivalry has developed.
There are specific people, names that have made even greater the resentment between meringues and Catalans, players who appeal to professionalism as a perfect excuse to wear both jerseys. RONALDO The "Phenomenon" came to Barcelona from PSV Eindhoven. His arrival was intended to fill the gap he had left his compatriot Romario in the Blaugrana offense.
His foray with Barcelona was just amazing, he managed to titles like the King's Cup-level team or as the Golden Ball 1997 at the personal level, a situation which led to him being signed by Inter Milan. There, the injuries began to appear in his career, especially those that nearly destroyed his knee and was forced to withdraw, but in 2002 showed that he still held much promise to be crowned world champion with Brazil in South Korea and Japan, so Florentino Perez noticed him and signed as part of one of the contracts that gave rise to the 'Galacticos' of Real Madrid.
With the meringues won two Spanish League and European Super Cups and Spain, and his second top scorer in the Iberian Peninsula. FIGO is perhaps the most repudiation signing and has caused anger in the history of the Catalan club. One of the few players who visited both jackets, but is even more reduced the number of men who were in a row.
The Portuguese midfielder was to try to heal the wound that once left the Dane Michael Laudrup to leave Real Madrid, not knowing the fate of the Lusitanian be the same. Figo arrived in 1995 to Catalan-speaking territories in the skin sheathed blaugrana which won a pair of league and Copa del Rey as well as international tournaments like the European Cup.
It was just late when Florentino Perez, candidate for the presidency of Real Madrid, seduced him in secret to sign a preliminary contract that would be valid if Perez won the elections and come to the leadership of Real Madrid, situation that occurred for the 2000/2001 season, becoming the first "Galactica." To remember is that image in 1998 when after winning the Spanish league chanted the phrase: "White, weeping, greet the champions", not knowing that a couple of years later he would be contesting his first match at the Bernabeu with skin white.
SAMUEL Eto'o African striker came in 1998 for Real Madrid, although the institution had never merengue as a real opportunity to wander among Iberian league teams until early 2000 to find a way to Mallorca where even crowned champion of the Copa del Rey draw the attention of the big teams on the continent.
In 2004, Cameroon has decided to sign with Barcelona and gradually became an indisputable and then a Blaugrana idol, as was league, Copa del Rey and Champions League to 2005/2006, although the most painful for the Madrid institution was on several occasions and they scored no more remorse celebrates both to the team that gave him the opportunity to showcase their talent.
Michael Laudrup Another of the players who was involved in this situation was the Dane Michael Laudrup. Nordic midfielder arrived in the summer of 1989 in Barcelona to enroll in the "Dream Team", one of the best pictures you've taken the Blaugrana in its history led by Johan Cruyff. Laudrup spent four years in the Spanish province where he became the first Champions League for the Catalans and was part of the team that won four league championships in Spain.
It was the summer of 94 when his fate changed dramatically since he signed with the arch-rivals Real Madrid, who won the League in its debut year with the shirt merengue. The funny thing is that the Dane was present in the rout that Barcelona gave him in 1994 to Real Madrid by 5-0, while the following year he returned meringues dose to the Blaugrana and in both cases was on the team Laudrup winner.
There are more than 30 players who have had the chance to dress two of the most important shirt in the world. Names like Schuster, Saviola, Luis Enrique, Prosinecki and Hagi appeared in colors and meringues Blaugrana causing the rivalry at times personified in one man, but today is the clash of styles that has become more intense the 'hate 'between the two clubs.
