Top 6 Barcelona Defenders of all time

#3 Ronald Koeman

Ronald Koeman was a crucial member of Johan Cruyff's dream team

Barca and the Dutch go hand in hand, the presence of Ronald Koeman should, therefore, not come as a surprise. He is another former Ajax player who later became a Barca legend.

His all-time goalscoring record is 225 league goals in 647 official appearances. This record surpasses the efforts of many modern-day strikers. Although he was a defender, he scored like a striker. He was a big motivation for the team as most of his goals came at the vital moments and helped win lots of matches.

As a free-kick specialist, he scored 106 goals during his six-year spell with FC Barcelona. But not only was he a dead-ball specialist, he was also acknowledged for his amazing long-balls which usually set-up an attack or directly assist a goal.

His stats would really put the best of attackers to shame and he could be easily mistaken as a midfielder but he was really a defender. Barca’s current defenders haven’t scored 106 goals combined, Koeman did that in six years!
