#4 Romario

Barcelona have had some amazing South American legends play for them and one of the best to ever play for Barcelona is the Brazilian wizard Romario. The Brazil legend joined Barcelona in 1993 and was an intimate part of the late Johan Cruyff’s dream team.

Playing alongside the likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Pep Guardiola and Michael Laudrup, Romario lit up the Spanish league and helped Barcelona claim the La Liga title by scoring 30 goals in just 33 appearances.

One of Romario’s best performances came in the El Clasico against Real Madrid where he scored a stunning hat-trick to help Barcelona thrash their long time rivals 5-0. After two very successful seasons with Barcelona, Romario moved to Flamengo, but not before sealing his status as a Barcelona legend.
