The dawn of the new millennium saw Portugal’s Luis Figo tread the blasphemous path of trading the Camp Nou for the Santiago Bernabeu as he made his switch from Barcelona to Real Madrid for £37m. Figo, the most capped Portuguese player in history, was the winner of the 2000 European Footballer of the Year and 2001 World Player of the Year awards.
His infamous move netted the Catalan club a £35m profit, and Figo a pig’s head, on his return to the Camp Nou.
