#4 Samuel Eto’o (Position: Forward | In Barcelona: 2004-2009)

Samuel Eto’o was brought into the club by Laporta in the year 2004. His five-year journey with the club earned him a multitude of trophies as well as a legacy that cannot be broken to this day. While he is most known for his historic consecutive trebles with two different clubs, his exploits at Barcelona make him a Catalan legend as well.

His incredible 130 goals in 199 matches for the Blaugrana helped him win three La Liga titles as well as two Champions League titles. He was sold to Inter Milan after a fantastic 2008-09 season in what was a rather controversial move. However, his impact at Camp Nou will never be forgotten and he has been cemented as one of the greatest strikers in the history of the game.
