¿Which players completed their entire career at Barça? ¿Who are Barcelona's One Club Man in its history?? The level of demand for teams like Barcelona can be really suffocating, more if you already have clearly exceeded 30.
That's why, rare are cases of players who have gone from the cradle footballing talking to retirement wearing only T-shirt I club FC Barcelona. Cruyff, Guardiola, Stoichkov, among many may be several of the great defenders of the club, but not all professionals made their debut as Barca and many emigrated to live new adventures with his last ball touches. Let's review the faithful of the culé feeling. To the players who wore Barça throughout their careers. There is only 9.
Los 9 Barcelona's One Club Man
Carles Puyol He was the last to enter the 'One Club Man' list’ culés. And that was many years ago.. He began his career in 1999 and decided to hang up his boots after having played his entire career at Barcelona in 2014.
Before the great captain of Barcelona in recent years, we must go back more than three decades to remind you last only wore the elastic of the Barca.
Nothing more and nothing less than the architect of the first contract of Messi with F.C. Barcelona on a paper napkin, a man of the house as he is Carlos Rexach. before him, there was no more, but it is the less curious that a club with more than 100 years of history, count only nine names that are fully identified as culés to the core.
These are all the players who completed their entire career at Barça
Other Barcelona footballers decided to get to know other teams
Along the way they ran canteranos known worldwide and sporting careers clearly recognized as Guillermo Amor, Sergi Barjuan or Pep Guardiola. Children from La Masía destined in principle, to inherit the legacy of Rexach, but ultimately they decided to end their footballing lives outside the club.
The same thing happened with players like Xavi himself who went to Qatar or Víctor Valdés, Sergio Busquets, Messi himself, Pedro and Iniesta, who also emigrated to continue and finish their careers away from Can Barça. Either by discovering other leagues and cultures, or by psychological exhaustion that entails defending those colors long.
In some cases because they no longer gave the level to continue as culés. The fact is that they were not players of a single club despite many of them being destined a priori to be part of the list of the Barcelona's One Club Man.
Other youth players like Bojan Krkic, Munir, Giovanni dos Santos and a very long, almost inexhaustible list, They had to leave the club to find their place in football, since in the Barca did not enjoy enough opportunities. Most notorious was the case of Gerard Pique or Cesc Fabregas, kids who once were not worth for the club and returned through the front door as world stars.
Will Sergi Roberto be the 'One Club Man'’ culé number 10?
The only footballer who seems possible to reach the 'One Club Man' list in the coming decades’ It's Sergi Roberto. The culé youth squad, He entered as a child and debuted in 2010 in the first team and has completed more than 15 seasons. Who knows if he will decide to end his career as a Barça player in the future and be a 'One Club Man'’ or if on the contrary, He will prefer to follow in the footsteps of his former teammates Messi, Busquests and Jordi Alba, and finish his career in the US.
