SCHUSTER

Another genius with a very special character. The German arrived at Can Barça and was one of the best players on the team. But nevertheless, various clashes with the board were undermining the German's relationship with the club. The final straw came at the end of European Cup 1986. Schuster was replaced a few minutes from the end and went directly to the hotel. There he saw how Steaua Bucarest defeated his team in the penalty shoot-out. Two years later he left the club and signed, to make matters worse, for his eternal rival, the real Madrid.

MESSI
