First League title for seven Barça players
www.fcbarcelona.cat
This is the first League title for seven of Barça’s first team players. They are Pinto, Cáceres, Keita, Bojan, Sergio Busquets, Víctor Sánchez and Pedro.
Since Saturday the 24 members of Barça’s first team squad have a new addition to their list
of titles won: League Champions 2008/09.
First for some
It is the first League title for quite a few of them: José Manuel Pinto
and Bojan, the new signings Cáceres and Keita, and the players who this year have come up from the
reserves, Sergio Busquets, Víctor Sánchez and Pedro. There’s no doubt that they won’t
forget this season.
First as Barça players
In addition to these seven, there are eight Barça players who have won League
titles elsewhere but are doing so for the first time with the Catalan club. They are Alves, Piqué,
Milito, Abidal, Touré, Gudjohnsen, Henry and Hleb.
Sylvinho heads list
At the other extreme is Silvio Mendes Campos, ‘Sylvinho’, who has racked
up the most League titles of any Barça player. He has won two with Corinthians and now three with
Barça to give him a personal tally of five. Behind him comes Xavi with four (all with Barça), and
Rafa Márquez, who has topped the table once with Monaco and three times with Barça.
