La Liga: Ranking Every Dutchman To Play For Barcelona

#2 Ronald Koeman

Koeman's Champions League winning goal

Ronald Koeman joined Barcelona from PSV in 1989 when he was at the peak of his powers. Having scored an insane 51 goals in 98 league games in the Eredivisie Koeman continued right were he left off. Spending six seasons at the Camp Nou, Koeman scored a total of 106 goals in 350 games, an average of about one goal every four games or 18 per season. A pretty goal record for a striker, let alone a centre half.

Being Barça’s main set piece taker Koeman’s most important goal came in the 1992 Champions League Final. With the deadlock still yet to be broken deep into extra time Barcelona won a free kick at the edge of Sampdoria’s box. Koeman stepped up and belted the ball into the back of the net to help Barcelona win their ever first European Cup.

Koeman’s tough tackling and vital goals helped the Catalans win four consecutive La Liga’s from 1990-91 to 1993-94, along with a Copa del Rey, three Supercopa de España’s, one European Super Cup and that all elusive first Champions League.

Holding the current record for consecutive penalties scored with 25, Koeman’s contribution to Barcelona will never be forgotten by the fan, as won't his thunderous right foot.
