#4 Dmytro Chygrynskiy

Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk - UEFA Super Cup
The performance that earned Chygrynskiy a move to Camp Nou

The central defender who turned to be a better player against Barcelona than for them. Pep Guardiola wanted some competition for Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique in the heart of his defence and signed Chygrynskiy from Shakhtar Donetsk to provide just that.

The Ukrainian star was signed up for €25 million after he impressed vs the Catalan side in the Champions League group stages. However, he did not turn into the world beater Pep thought he would be.

He was sold back to Shakhtar next summer for €15 million. His career was never the same again and he did not reach the heights he would have if he had remained at the Ukrainian club.
