We can be really proud of some of our former stars.

Few Cules were actually happy to see David Villa taking a new step in his career – joining Atletico Madrid in 2013 – yet he did his best to show that he still loved Blaugrana and their fans.

“I can only be grateful to Barca for their respect and special appreciation, and I would like to thank them for giving me three years at a club as great as Barca,” he said back then. “I have no complaints about Barcelona and they made it easy for me to move to Atletico because they knew I wanted to play here. I hope I can be just as happy at Atleti as I was at Barca. “This is a winning team which has won lots of titles in recent years. I’ve come to help the club improve a little.”

David Villa scored 48 goals during his Blaugrana spell but his most memorable strike is possibly the one in the Champions League final against Man United:
