But who are the best former Barcelona players to play in the Premier League?

We have compiled an eleventh record of players having left Barcelona for the Premier League …

NB: The team only includes players who have left Barcelona for the Premier League, and not the other way around. Luis Suarez, Thierry Henry, Javier Mascherano, etc. therefore are not included.

Pepe Reina

A pair of safe hands between the sticks. After starting her career in Barcelona, ​​Reina joined Liverpool in 2005 and made 394 appearances for the club. He won the Golden Glove Premier League Trophy in his first three seasons at the club, was named Player of the Club Season in 2009/10 and is one of the most reliable goalkeepers in history from Liverpool.

Juliano Belletti

Hector Bellerin, the right-back of Arsenal, is close, but the Brazilian nods. He helped Chelsea win the Premier League title in 2009/10 and reach the Champions League final in 2007/08. He also scored some spectacular goals during his stint at Stamford Bridge.

Gerard spades

The central defender joined Manchester United in 2004 from Barcelona. He played 23 games under Sir Alex Ferguson before sealing his return to Barca, having failed to break the regular defensive partnership between Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Yaya Toure

One of the best Premier League midfielders, Toure was sometimes used as central defender by Pep Guardiola during his stay in Barcelona. He joined City since Barca in 2010 and has been instrumental in the success of the club over the next few years. Touré made 316 appearances for City, scoring 82 goals and was included twice in the PFA team year.

Lucas Digne

There is not much competition in the left back, so Digne occupies the place, even if he played in the Premier League in less than a season. He impressed in his first campaign for Everton, scoring three goals and four badists in the Premier League.

Deco

Oriol Romeu would provide a defensive cover, but Deco is known for his creativity and vision. Although he did not show his best form in his first season with Chelsea in 2008/09, he was brighter the following season and played an important role in helping the club win the Premier League. League and the FA Cup.

Cesc Fabregas

Another infallible selection. Fabregas left Barca when he was young to join Arsenal in 2003. He returned to Barcelona in 2011 before returning to the Premier League to join Chelsea in 2014. Earlier this year, he made his 500th participation in English football.

Mikel Arteta

Although he never made his first appearance at the Barca, Arteta started in the club before joining the Rangers in 2002. However, he is best remembered for his time at Everton, where he has made 199 appearances, then Arsenal, where he made 150 appearances and was named captain.

Alexis Sanchez

Forget his recent training with Manchester United and remember when Sanchez was arguably the most exciting player in the Premier League during his stint at Arsenal. He joined the Barcelona Gunners in 2014 and was sometimes unplayable, winning the player's award of the club's season twice. He scored 80 goals in 166 appearances for Arsenal.

Luis Garcia

Garcia's signing for £ 6 million by Barcelona in 2004 has proved judicious by Liverpool. He played a key role in his club's victory in the Champions League in 2004/05, scoring the decisive goal against Juventus in the quarter-finals, then scoring the "ghost goal" against Chelsea, who decided to dispute it in semi final.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

All eyes were on Ibrahimovic when he joined Manchester United at the age of 34 in 2016 to see if he could reduce it to the Premier League. A total of 28 in 46 appearances in his first season suggested that he could. He also won his first major European title by helping United win the Europa League.

Although his form was weakened and his relay was cut short due to an injury, Ibrahimovic was a memorable signing.
