With ElClasico on the horizon we take a look at the some of the most notorious players to have crossed the divide and play for their rival in the world’s most famous fixture.

On July 24th, 2000 Luis Figo became the world’s most expensive player when he signed for Real Madrid from FC Barcelona for approximately Euros 62 million. To the great anger of Barca fans Figo made the move at the peak of his powers, shortly winning the Ballon D’Or after joining their arch-rivals. Figo was prolific for both teams, making over 150 appearances and winning two league titles for each team. Figo eventually left Real Madrid in 2003 having cemented himself as one of the greatest ever foreign players to grace La Liga.
