It's curious that of the 5 GOATs of football, 3.5 played for Barcelona (the .5 being Di Stefano who was robbed by RM)

Great player, the best player of the Dutch total football. Reaching the '74 mundial finals. Too bad Holland didn't have him for the '78 finals, but he was protesting for the lack of human rights in Argentina under the junta.

Great coach, too. Leading the Barça "dream team", to several la ligas and first championship trophy. Then helping re-organize the Barça academy, which is today the best in the world.

RIP Johan Cryuff.

That's a myth

Their was a kidnapping attempt on Cruyff and his family in Barcelona before the WC; he wasn't mentally ready to go to the WC

True, admitted by Cruyff himself.

One of the greatest of all time. He was great with Ajax.

Top 5 player all time, tbh.

Probably the main responsible for the way football is played today.

But Cryuff made it happen as a footballer and brought it to Barcelona which, let's face it (even though you are a Real fan), it's the blueprint for modern football. Everybody tries to copy aspects of this team.
