The historical alignment of the Barça that never won a Balloon of Gold

The roller that have created Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last decade with the Balloon of Gold has done that many big players have remained without a prize that, without place to doubts, would have been more than deserved. Players, some, that belong still to the FC Barcelona but that seems impossible that attain to win the award, whereas others already are withdrawn from does years.

And it is that by the Barcelona group have happened grandísimos players, so much before as during the presence of the best player of the world, Leo Messi. To continuation analyse the XI of players of the FC Barcelona that well deserved a Balloon of Gold but never have won it, neither foresees that they do it in some cases by the difficulty added in his demarcation:

VÍCTOR VALDÉS

In the first team from 2002 and until 2014, the cancerbero Catalan marked all a period in the continental football. We are speaking of the that with a lot of security was the best goalkeeper in the history of the Barcelona team, headline in the period of Rijkaard and in the one of Pep Guardiola. It will be necessary to see if Marc-André Ter Stegen is some able day to equalise him or even surpass him. They will do him lacking years and a big regularity.

ALVES-HAMMERED-PUYOL-KOEMAN

In defence appear four big defenders that, by his position in the field, always have had difficult to shine. On the one hand it is the carrilero Brazilian that contested eight big seasons in the club blaugrana, Dani Alves. Indisputable headline, was considered beyond all doubt the best right side of the world during years. Combining quality, technical and a big physical capacity, Alves turned into the best partner of Leo Messi.

In the centre of the saga would be the couple of head offices that better compenetró in the history culé. Gerard Hammered, still in age to be able to win it, and Carles Puyol formed a defence infranqueable. In addition to his defensive game it is necessary to add him his sporadic rises to the attack.

Although it treats of another central, Ronald Koeman could not be missing in this alignment. The one who always will be the hero of Wembley by his goal in front of the Sampdoria, went one of the best defences of his period. Necessary instrument in the 'Dream Team', Koeman was a defence of big touch, excellent shot and very strong in the aerial game. 

BUSQUETS-INIESTA-XAVI

Here there is not doubt, truth? The considered for many better centre of the field of the history, Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta never were neither will be recompensados with the prize to better player of the world. On the one hand it is Busquets, the best mediocentro of the planet that from his jump of Third to First Division of the hand of Pep Guardiola has won the admiration of all the sportive professionals. Less than the journalists, that never include him in the Balloon of Gold.

The case of Xavi and of Iniesta arrived to the surrealism the past 2010. Both came to win the World-wide FIFA with Spain, to add a 'sextete' and to give authentic lessons on the terrains of game. They finish third and second, respectively, by behind Lionel Messi. Xavi carried to the ecstasy to the best football that could see the Camp Nou, whereas Iniesta would inherit later this style, turning into his guardian. 

KUBALA-ROMÁRIO-MARADONA

Legendary and wanted by the barcelonismo that could see him play, Ladislao Kubala was the best player of the world of his period. This was between 1950 and 1962, when the Hungarian genius led to the team blaugrana during more than a decade. His only big spine was to not to have done with the 'orejona'.

Another star goleador that enfundó the Barcelona was a such Romário gives Souza. The goleador of the 'Dream Team' of Johan Cruyff, in the 1993-1994 specifically, had a spectacular performance this station. Goleador Lethal and a genius in the rival area, Romário deserved to be this year the Balloon of Gold.

Which validity can have a prize that chooses to the best player of the world and does not have to Diego Armando Maradona between his awarded? The considered one of the best players of the history of the balompié was in the Camp Nou between 1982 and 1984. They did not go his best seasons because of problems extradeportivos, as well as a grave injury of ankle caused by Andoni Goikoetxea.

Besides, that the magazine 'France Football' vetoed to the prize to players "no Europeans" until 1995 also has a lot that see. Maradona Played his best years in the Naples and neither still like this carried the prize.
