Messi – The Greatest Player in Barcelona's History

Johan Cruyff, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo Among the Club's Top 10

Lionel Messi has been voted as the greatest player in the history of FC Barcelona, ahead of other iconic figures such as Johan Cruyff, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo.

The Argentine forward, who recently left Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain, spent 21 years at the Catalan club, making 778 appearances and scoring 672 goals.

Cruyff Second, Ronaldinho Third

Coming in second place in the vote was Cruyff, the Dutch legend who played for Barcelona from 1973 to 1978 and again from 1981 to 1983.

Cruyff is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, and he is credited with revolutionizing the way football is played with his innovative "Total Football" philosophy.

In third place was Ronaldinho, the Brazilian playmaker who played for Barcelona from 2003 to 2008.

Ronaldinho was one of the most skilful and entertaining players of his generation, and he helped Barcelona win two La Liga titles and the Champions League in 2006.

Ronaldo Eighth

Ronaldo, the former Brazil striker, is ranked eighth in the list.

Ronaldo played for Barcelona for one season, in 1996-97, and he scored 47 goals in 49 appearances.

He helped Barcelona win the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup that season.

Other Notable Players

Other notable players in the top 10 include Xavi Hernandez (4th), Andres Iniesta (5th), Carles Puyol (6th), Gerard Pique (7th), and Samuel Eto'o (9th).

The vote was conducted by Barca Universal, a Barcelona fan website.
