10 of the greatest Barcelona goalscorers of all time

#4 Josep Samitier

Josep Samitier, also known as Jose Samitier, remains a Barcelona legend, despite his affiliation with the club’s bitter rivals Real Madrid. A talented midfielder in his time, Samitier was dubbed ‘The Magician’ and ‘The Grasshopper Man’ because of his playing style.

The Spaniard spent 13 years at Barcelona, during which he won the Catalan Football Championship (Catalonian league which stood before La Liga’s formation in 1929) a whopping 12 times and scored 333 goals with 178 of them counting as official.

Samitier would also win a La Liga title with Barcelona, but moved to Madrid thereafter, winning the league there as well.

After retiring as a player, he would return to Barcelona as a coach. He is also responsible for recruiting Laszlo Kubala during his time as a talent scout for the club. Things would turn sour after some time, however, and he would leave Barcelona for Madrid yet again.
