1. Marc Overmars
Arsenal 1997-00 (141 matches 40 goals)
Barcelona 2000- 04 (70 matches 9 goals)
This excellent left winger joined Arsenal after leaving Ajax in the summer of 1997 and was always the number one choice in Arsene Wenger’s game plan.
>
You already have A very beautiful time at Highbury, the most notable of which were two extremely important goals: one was against MU, bringing victory and the Premiership title to Arsenal in 1998.
The second goal was the opening goal in the FA Cup Final that same year, helping the Gunners complete the first double in the club’s history.
|
Overmars had a more memorable time |
Overmars switched to play for Barca in the summer of 2000 (along with Emmanuel Petit) in the most expensive contract in Dutch football history, but he repeatedly had to stop playing due to injuries and then was forced to leave the field in 2004.

2. p>
Arsenal 1997-00 (116 matches 11 goals)< br>Barcelona 2000-01 (28 matches 1 goal)
Beginning Playing as a left-back at Monaco, Petit moved to Highbury in 1997. And here, under the talent and great eye of coach Arsene Wenger, he combined with compatriot Patrick Vieira to form a team. one of the best central midfield pairs in England and Europe.
Petit’s most memorable moment at Arsenal was In the 1998 FA CUP final match against Newcastle, he had a perfect dribble past the opponent’s defenders and then passed the ball as if to help Marc Overmars score the opening goal.

3. Silvinho
Arsenal 1999-01 (79 matches 5 goals )
Barcelona 2004- present (25 matches 0 goals)
This Brazilian player moved to Highbury Stadium in 1999 from Corinthians Club with the hope of successfully replacing the position of “veteran” Nigel Winterburn and he immediately won the love of London fans after his performances. excellent performance on the left wing.
However, Silvinho’s subsequent injury and Ashley Cole’s rapid growth took away took his place in the starting lineup and led to a transfer to Celta Vigo in 2001.

Silvinho was still roaming |
|
Van Bronckhorst has the opportunity to meet his old team again |
In the summer of 2004 he moved to Nou Stadium Camp was under a loan contract and here he and Silvinho took turns holding the left back position, contributing significantly to this club’s brilliant success in the past 2 years (2 consecutive La Liga championships).< /p>
5. Francesc Fabregas
Barcelona 2002-03 (0 matches 0 goals)
Arsenal 2003- present (95 matches, 8 goals)
Maybe talking about Fabregas, Catalan people will feel sorry again. Because it’s not a pity that he was a product of Barca’s youth training center but was not properly appreciated, so he was “taken away” by Arsenal in 2003 when he was only 16 years old and never once played in the first team. .
>
In London Fabregas quickly became the best young talent and after only 1 season he was playing quite a bit. often.
>
The turning point for Fabregas was the departure of captain Patrick Vieira because he immediately took over official position and become coach Wenger’s second most important card after Thierry Henry.
Clearly in addition to Marc Overmars and Petit and the remaining three players are having great success in the new club’s jersey after years of not being used in the old team. So surely the upcoming final match will be a good opportunity for them to “revenge”…
