3. Luis Figo: Barcelona to Real MadridThis transfer was perhaps one of the most widely covered ones in football history. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had just started to implement his much vaunted 'Galacticos' policy where the planet's best players were to play for Real Madrid. In 2000, Luis Figo made the move from Barcelona to their bitter rivals Madrid after the capital club activated his '��60 million buy-out clause. The move, as expected, did not go down well with the Catalan fans who refer to this as the ultimate betrayal. The Portuguese international received a hostile reception at Camp Nou during a league match in 2002 when a pig's head was thrown at him from the crowd. Figo won the La Liga titles in 2001 and 2003 along with a Champions League title in his time with the Los Blancos.
