    What's the story

    Barcelona and Real Madrid are two of the biggest clubs in Spain and also in the world. They are also eternal rivals and their clash is popularly known as 'El Clasico'.

    Both sides have dominated the scenes in Spain.

    Almost 40 players have represented the two teams.

    However, here we look at the five top players to have played for both Barca and Real.

    Luis Enrique

    Luis Enrique

    Luis Enrique was a very technical midfielder during his playing days. He played 213 matches for Real Madrid, netting 18 goals.

    However, he joined Barcelona in 1996 and went on to feature in 300 appearances while scoring 109 goals.

    He joined Barca because he wasn't appreciated by the Madrid fans. Initially, he wasn't liked by Barcelona fans too but things improved with time.

    Michael Laudrup

    Considered one of the craftiest footballers, Michael Laudrup was part of the legendary Barcelona team that won straight four La Liga titles in the 90s.

    After five sensational seasons with Blaugrana, he fell out with manager Johan Cruyff and moved to Real Madrid in 1994. He guided them to the league title in his first season.

    However, Laudrup moved to Japan after two seasons.

    Samuel Eto'o

    The Cameroonian played 199 matches while netting 130 goals across all competitions.

    He played a big role in their three La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League crowns.

    Eto'o is one of the most celebrated superstars in Barcelona.

    Ronaldo de Lima

    Ronaldo Luis Nazario

    Often considered one of the best strikers of all time, Ronaldo is someone who is loved by both sets of fans.

    He spent only a solitary season with Barce as he netted 47 goals in 49 appearances and became the youngest recipient of the Ballon d'Or in 1997.

    Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2002 and went on to score 104 goals in 177 matches.

    Luis Figo
