Better than Lionel Messi? Maybe ...

Widely considered by many as the greatest footballer of his generation, Kubala was a part of successful Barcelona team of the 1950s. The Hungarian scored 194 goals in his 256 appearances for the Catalan club.

He was a five-time Spanish champion and represented Spain on 16 occasions. He is still the only footballer to have represented three different countries in Internationals.

He was the main reason why Barcelona decided to build the new stadium, Camp Nou. Barcelona fans voted him as their greatest player of the 20th century. His Bronze statue outside of Camp Nou reminds everyone of the legacy he has built at Spain.

He went on to coach his old team twice and Spain national team for 11 long years. He was the one to break Real’s dominance in Spain, knocking them out of the 1961 European Cup and set a foundation for Barcelona to build on.
