Camp Nou’s tribute to Johan Cruyff, who built one of the greatest club sides ever with his Dream Team

#3 Nando

Fernando Muñoz García, more commonly known as Nando, belongs to that rare group who have played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid. In fact, he joined Real Madrid after the 1992 European Cup win with the Catalan club, although he was technically signed from Sevilla, who had exercised their buy-back option to bring Nando back.

After Madrid, Nando ended up playing for Barcelona’s city rivals Espanyol and finished his career in Catalonia itself. A centre-back by trade, he has stayed away from the limelight ever since he retired in 2001 and not much is known about what he is doing currently.


#4 Ronald Koeman

Ronald Koeman is currently the manager of Everton in the Premier League

One of the greatest defenders of all time and the last great player in the now-obsolete sweeper role, Ronald Koeman was a genius of an attacking defender with his vision, free-kick ability and passing range right there among the best. He was a part of Cruyff’s Dream Team and scored the winning goal in the 1992 European Cup final.

A successful playing career at Dutch clubs Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord apart from Barcelona and a Euro triumph with the Netherlands in 1988, transitioned into a notable managerial career with stints at Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord, and then Benfica and Valencia among others.

He is now a recognised manager across Europe due to his time in England where he has managed Southampton and is currently in charge of Everton in the Premier League.

Eusebio Sacristan was one of the key players of Johan Cruyff’s Dream Team

Not to be confused with the legendary Portuguese Eusebio, Eusebio Sacristan played for seven seasons at Barcelona and was one of the mainstays in Johan Cruyff’s Dream Team. He played in the right wing-back role in the 1992 final against Sampdoria and won 10 more titles with the Catalan club.

He finished his career at Valladolid and then worked as a manager first at Celta de Vigo and then later at Barcelona B from 2011 to 2015. After the sacking of David Moyes (his bad run since leaving Everton continues) at Real Sociedad, Eusebio was named as the manager in 2015 and he has been working with the Basque club ever since.
