[HIGHLIGHTS] LaLiga 1993/94: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid (5-0)

The night of 8 January 1994 is one that Barça fans that are old enough to remember will never forget. For younger fans, the 25th anniversary of that game is the perfect chance to learn a little bit more about the time when Barça blew Real Madrid off the Camp Nou park to the tune of a 5-0 victory.

The first of those five goals has gone down in history as one of the finest ever scored by the club. The side coached by Johan Cruyff were dominating the play but just couldn’t find the net until the 24th minute when future manager Pep Guardiola picked out Romario and the Brazilian’s 180 degree spin while dragging the ball with his instep is still regarded as the perfect example of what is known in the south of Europe as the ‘cow’s tail’ turn.

Buoyed by the electric home support of the Dream Team era, the goals then started flowing for the Catalans. Following a Ronald Koeman free-kick, Romario completed his hat-trick before Iván Iglesias rounded off the win.

That was the season when Deportivo looked like they were going to win their very first Liga title, but Barça snatched top spot on a dramatic final day.

Romario, the magician who I followed to become a Barca fan.

Romario's first goal is a work of art. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. The perfection of that second touch is truly incredible.

Seeing Romario play gives me goose bumps

[jordandavis]

To me romario is bigger than R9. I know a lot of people won't agree with me but the guy is the best traditional center forward there is. He didn't need the speed, his timing off the ball, positional awareness was enough and his dribbling was simple and effective, took you out of the game quickly and got the job done. He was always poised and seemed unaffected by everything around him like he was in hsi own zone. Absolute baller.

That first goal is just so absurd. So single footed, right towards the defender, then away from them with electric turn of pace and perfect outside of the foot placement. I prefer players to be able to play well with both feet, but my bias for that is just not relevant here as the skill and ability shown here is just marvelous.
