BARCELONA LEGEND : LUIS ENRIQUE
Label: Player
Sporting de Gijon, Luis Enrique spent most of it with the two biggest Spanish clubs: first Real Madrid in 1991-96 and, in a stunning move, he saw out his contract and moved to fierce rivals FC Barcelona on a free transfer. The Catalan club's supporters were at first understandably hesitant about their new acquisition, but he soon won the culés heart, staying eight years with the club (1996-2004), and even becoming first-team captain.
In his first three seasons with Barcelona, Luis Enrique netted 46 league goals, with Barça finishing runner-up in 1996-97, subsequently winning back-to-back domestic accolades.
On August 10, 2004, at the age of 34, he announced his retirement, Enrique finished his professional career with 400 games and 102 goals, being named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March.
In June 18, 2008, Enrique returned to Barcelona, taking over the reins of FC Barcelona B, which was renamed FC Barcelona Atlètic for 2008-2009
