#1 Ronaldo Nazario - Luis Figo (Barcelona & Real Madrid)
The Brazilian striker Ronaldo and Luis Figo are probably the two most high-profile players who have been team-mates in the two great Spanish rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid. Ronaldo just played one season for Barcelona in 1996/1997 and he along with Figo succeeded in winning three trophies that season including Copa Del Rey, European Cup Winners Cup and Spanish Supercopa.
Ronaldo had a stunning season at Barcelona scoring 47 goals in 49 games that season which led to him becoming the youngest FIFA World Player of the Year aged just 20. Figo meanwhile spent five fruitful years with Barcelona where he was a fan favourite before he made a highly controversial move to rivals Real Madrid in 2000.
Figo won the FIFA World Player of the year in 2000 immediately after he joined Real Madrid although the award was more for his performances in Barcelona. He would team up with Ronaldo again when the Brazilian arrived in 2002 and they ended up winning the La Liga title in 2003 along with the Intercontinental cup and Spanish Super Cup.
Both Figo and Ronaldo were truly wonderful footballers and they enjoyed titles whenever and wherever they played, be it Barcelona or Real Madrid.
