Kaka AC Milan — Kaka was at the peak of his powers in mid-00s and cost Milan just £15 million

£89 million pounds

Barcelona 2006 — The supremely talented Barcelona team of 2006

In the 2003 and 2004 transfer markets, Barcelona spent a combined outlay of €115.85 million euros in signing Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o, Deco, Ludovic Giuly, Edmilson, Juliano Beletti, Sylvinho, Henrik Larsson, Ricardo Quaresma and Rafael Marquez. Which is, notably, the spine of the team with which they would win the Champions League in 2006.
