-----------------------
Johan Cruyff is a name synonymous with football whether by memory or legacy, his impact on the game is unlike any other. Already dubbed "El Salvador" for his efforts in Blue and Red, the Dutchman returned to the Nou Camp a decade later and reinforced that title. Step by step, he moulded Barcelona to fit his vision, changing all from the playing style to manpower to the academy and crafted "The Dream Team", and football was never the same.

[@williamlee7672]

While there are players considered better such as pele, Maradona, Messi and C Ronaldo. Cruyff is for me one of the most important figures in world football. From being talisman figure for Ajax, Barca and Netherlands in the total football to changing the culture and way Barca is today. No one person has such influence on football as player/manager on so many clubs and even nation.

Johan Cruyff changed the game as both a player and manager. From 1988 on, with Cruyff as manager, Barça came to be associated once more with excellent football and sporting success. FC Barcelona managed to secure four consecutive Spanish League championships, between 1990 and 1994. He transformed the club and changed the entire tactics and philosophy of the club thereby creating the famed 'dream team' which dominated both Spanish and European football. Known as the 'Dream Team' of European football, the following unforgettable players went down in the Club’s history: Zubizarreta, Bakero, Begiristain, Laudrup, Koeman, Stoichkov, Romário, Eusebio, Nadal, Guardiola, Amor, Juan Carlos, Ferrer, Nando, Julio Salinas, Serna, Alexanko and Goikoetxea.

[@Shahwzz]

What is the point ????

[@yannick245]

The UCL final of 1994 was the end of the "Dream Team". Barcelona were favourites to win their second European Cup/UEFA Champions League in three years, having just won La Liga for the fourth year in a row. Milan's preparation before the final was in disarray: legendary striker Marco van Basten was still out with a long-term injury, and £13 million young sensation Gianluigi Lentini (then world's most expensive footballer) was also injured; sweeper and captain, Franco Baresi was suspended, as was defender Alessandro Costacurta; and UEFA regulations at the time that limited teams to fielding a maximum of three non-nationals meant that coach Fabio Capello was forced to leave out Florin Răducioiu, Jean-Pierre Papin and Brian Laudrup. On Barcelona's side, the rule saw Johan Cruyff choosing not to pick Michael Laudrup in his squad for the final which caused Capello to state after the game: "Laudrup was the guy I feared but Cruyff left him out, and that was his mistake". Laudrup left Barcelona for their arch-rival, Real Madrid, at the end of the season. Milan still trashed Barca 4:0! Leaving Barca not a chance.

[@norbertschnurrbart936]

The Milan - Barcelona Champions League final reminds a lot of the 1974 World Cup final in which Cruyff also was a part of! The favorites of both finals (Barcelona and Netherlands) were so confident that they were going to win, they acted too arrogant, underestimated their opponents and lost.

[@HorseMaster23]

My first favorite player was Hristo in the mid-90s... My second favorite was Romario... What a team !!!

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Without Cruyff there’s no Pep as a manager. There’s also no Barca as a dominant force in the 90s/2000s. There’s no Masia (which he created and mirrored with Ajax’s youth academy) so potentially no Messi

[@emilturbo5]

Hristo Stoichkov is the reason why Bulgaria loves Barcelona.

[@tommywiseau4594]

This really shows the evolution of managerial magicians of the beautiful game. Really shows how and why Pep was destined to become a world class manager. In my opinion we could possibly be seeing the same kind of future for a player like Rodri, I can really see some similarities between Pep and Rodri.

[@KC_604]

Watching football in the 90s with my dad are some of the best memories I have of him so anytime I see Romario I click cuz the man was a beast , world class and one of the most underrated players from that era and I remember being memorized watching him play him and Ronaldo R9 where the KDB, Holland and Salah type player of today but fitness wasn’t as big of thing back then as it is now they where just happy to play and have some money I’m sure if anyone knew back then how big the sport was gonna get and the money involved they might have taken it more seriously

Yet no one remembers that Milan side (Sachhi's side is the legendary one), and everyone remembers Cruyff's Barca. One match doesnt make a legacy.

[@mrefis9705]

@@Orion4976 Orion, sorry, but to remember the facts you have to know them. For example: 3 consecutive Champion's League finals for Capello's Milan: 1993/1994/1995. I won't mention the other trophies\finals because you can find them on your own. Sacchi's Milan took football by storm - and that matters! -, but Capello's one was a superteam (especially the 1992 Milan). Bye

[@Orion4976]

@@mrefis9705 Like I said: NO ONE remembers that Milan side (at least outside of Italy). Everyone remembers Cruyff's Barca and Sacchi's Milan. Winning trophies and making finals doesnt mean you'll be remembered (every generation of every league has trophy winners)... inventing or playing a certain style is what makes you inmortal. 1974 WC final: everyone remember's that Dutch side even though they lost to a German side that no one remembers.

[@mrefis9705]

@@Orion4976 Orion, you are not so wrong about the principle (style matters for the memory, more than trophies), but on the specific case (Milan Barça 4-0). It looks like you're just trying to absolutize your personal position (“no one remembers”? Maybe It’s just you who don’t remember?). Facts are facts. Capello's Milan were more relevant and (feared) in Europe than Cruyff's Barça at the time. Not in Italy: in Europe! Cruyff's Barcelona had the chance to challenge Capello's Milan and lost 4-0. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (If you wanna know something about the legacy of that Milan watch 1996/97 Capello’s Real Madrid.) ... on Sacchi and "A Clockwork Orange" of 1974 (as we in Italy call that incredible [🙀] team): Sacchi won 2 Champions Cup, etc… It wasn't just a question of style; The 1974 and 1978 Netherlands were World Cup finalists, and came from Ajax who won 3 European Cups in a row (1971/72/73).

[@stevewells696]

I was in Athens in 1994 for one of, if not the greatest finals ever played Milan annihilated Barcelona on every level defensively, in midfield and in attack, they gave Barca a total football lesson. what made it so laughable was Cryuff's disrespectful and let's face it delusional comments prior to the match he stated that Barca were technically, physically better than Milan who were in his words just "an average defensive team nothing special" and "We'll win comfortably." Well his deluded arrogance was on show for the world to see and he was stunned to look of total embarrassment and silence. Great player, good coach but his arrogance was his biggest downfall and obviously motivated that great Milan squad to show Cryuff that he should show respect to opposition. Unfortunately I feel he was so arrogant that he probably Never learnt that lesson

[@Ga1o1]

[@saadhasan2518]

As a football fan, I always thank Cruyff due to how much he changed football (effects seen to this day) that trio of L-S-R was amazing, wish I got to watch it live. Though in the UCL Final, Capello's biggest fear heading into the match was Laudrup who got benched. Also Milan dominated the game from midfield to the defense as Romario would end up getting 0 shots on target.
