With 2020 approaching, Goal has decided to pick out the best players to have lined up for the Catalans over the past 10 years
GettyGK: Victor Valdes
While injury robbed Victor Valdes of a proper Barcelona farewell, he won't be easily forgotten at Camp Nou.
Twice voted La Liga's best goalkeeper this decade (2010 and 2011), the Spain international was a key part of the Catalan side's success prior to his final game for the club in 2014.
His ability with the ball at his feet can't be discounted either, as he distributed the ball precisely and fearlessly for Pep Guardiola's free-flowing side.

Though his time with Barcelona came to an abrupt end in 2016, Dani Alves had been a key part of the Catalans' era of unprecedented success.
The Brazilian's speed, technical ability and physical strength made him a massive asset down the right flank, forming a fantastic relationship with Lionel Messi.
While he was named in the La Liga Team of the Year just once, Alves' ability and influence was often underrated and his recent form for Brazil is a reminder the 36-year-old remains a special talent.
GettyCB: Gerard Pique
From a fringe player at Manchester United to a star at Barcelona, Gerard Pique certainly made the right call moving back to his boyhood club in 2008.
A mountain in the Catalans' backline and a rallying figure for the club, the defender has been key to Barca's success over the past decade.
With a trophy haul including eight Liga titles, six Copa del Rey trophies and three Champions Leagues, his experience makes any backline a whole lot more secure.
GettyCB: Carlos Puyol
"I'm like the student who is not as clever, but revises for his exams and does okay in the end."
That's how Puyol described himself in 2010 and it's safe to say he did more than okay in his final years with Barcelona.
From 2010 to 2012, the iconic defender in fact went an incredible 56 matches without losing a game with his beloved club.
Tireless and dedicated, Puyol had all the attributes of a world-class defender and didn't lose any of his spirit prior to hanging up his boots in 2014.
