I know he's not the most recent but was Gary Lineker any good when he went to Barca?

Maybe, I thought he was shit at Real Madrid though.

I dont think its a coincidence that Rooney is having the season of his life now Ronaldo is gone and Rooney is the star of the team, maybe it was the same with Beckham as in he was one of many stars, not THE star?

Or it could be just as simple as not seeing him play each week so it doesnt seem like he is playing so well?

Scored a hat-trick in the Bernebau (sp) in a demolition of Real on home soil, thus gaining leg-end status :ohmy:

Edit: Ended up out of favour and was played as a right-winger in his latter days there ???

Erm, I've not been paying attention, and have only just heard Hleb's name now... Not that he would have single handedly beaten Barcelona, or suggesting that he'd purposely play shit, but, it's a little odd letting a loaned player, play against you, or play against his official club. Wonder the last time it happened this high up the leagues. Odd.

Loanee Morientes scored for Monaco against his club Real Madrid at the 2004 Quarter Final stage of Champions League
