4 key members of Barcelona's treble winning squad in 2008/2009 who are still playing at other clubs
Barcelona made club history during the course of the 2008/2009 campaign when they became the first Spanish club to win all three trophies they contested for that season, and took it a step further by becoming the first side in history to win a sextuple.
The campaign started plainly enough, with Ronaldinho's departure portending a season of struggle, while Pep Guardiola was far from the revered manager he is right now and was just taking his first teething steps in management.
The fact that the club were winless in the first two matches of the season - losing on the opening day away to the newly promoted Numancia and drawing with Racing Santander at home on matchday 2 laid credence to this claim.
However, the Blaugrana under Guardiola's innovative style of play turned things around, thumping all before them to write their names in history, and the 2008/2009 Barcelona squad is widely considered by many to be the greatest club team in history.
Following the passage of time, key members of the squad still remain at Nou Camp, while others have moved on to other things.
In this piece, we shall be highlighting four key members of that treble-winning squad who are still plying their trade at other clubs.
#4 Bojan Krkic (Montreal Impact)
Bojan Krkic emerged as a highly rated youngster in La Masia, breaking numerous goalscoring records for fun in Barcelona's academy, and was largely believed to be the future of Barcelona's attack.
He made his debut for the senior team in September 2007, aged 17 years and 19 days, breaking Lionel Messi's record as the second youngest Barcelona player to feature in a LaLiga match, and also became the youngest to play a Champions League fixture.
He broke Raul's record for the most goals scored by a Spanish teenager in a debut season, and for his fast breakout, he drew comparisons to the Real Madrid icon.
His second season with the Catalans saw him take on more responsibility, and he ultimately made 42 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 10 goals as the side won a treble.
The presence of some legendary players in the Barcelona attack meant that the odds were always stacked against him making the grade at Barcelona, and the 29-year-old has been something of a journeyman since and is regularly named among players who failed to fulfil their early promise.
