Top 10 Africans that were in or are in Barcelona or Juventus
1. Not only is Samuel Eto’o one of Africa's
finest frontmen, but one of the world's greatest all-time strikers. The
Indomitable Lion led the line for five years at Barcelona, where he has
an impressive collection of titles. In 232 games played for the Catalan
giants, he won two Champions Leagues, three La Ligas, one Copa del Rey
and four other Spanish Cups. He also made decisive contributions at
vital moments, and stands alone as the greatest African player to
feature for Barca.
2. Yaya Toure was an integral part of a
Barcelona squad that had begun to revolutionise how football was played
throughout the world, winning the Champions League before leaving his
teammates to enjoy greater success without him. The Ivorian was seen as a
more defensive player by Guardiola than he has been at Manchester City,
and played in the holding role or in the defence, which was where he
won the UCL in 2009. The four-time African Player of the Year has been
arguably the key inspiration behind City's recent rise to dominance, and
he has finally won over Guardiola at the Etihad!
