Not many Mexican players have been part of the FC Barcelona dressing room, as we can only count three and a possible fourth in the case Carlos Vela had arrived at that moment when the Catalan club opted for Kevin Prince Boateng, who only played four games. It is worth mentioning that all the Mexicans who participated for FC Barcelona, did so since the year 2000.

The main and most prominent of the Mexicans that left a great print in FC Barcelona from 2003 to 2010 was the central defender Rafael Márquez, who became one of the best in the world. The Mexican played 242 games, scored 13 goals and 12 assists. He won 2 UEFA Champions League, one UEFA super cup, 4 leagues, 3 super cups and one Copa del Rey. He is at the same level of Hugo Sanchez with Real Madrid.

The second to enter in the list is Giovani Dos Santos, under-17 world champion in Peru 2005, Dos Santos was with FC Barcelona from the basic forces, but already with the senior team, from 2007 to 2009, he played 37 official matches, got 4 goals and 7 assists. By the time Giovani was making his debut in the team, Ronaldinho was the great star and Messi was tooking his first steps as the future best player of the world.

And finally, his brother Jonathan Dos Santos, who also emerged from the basic forces of FC Barcelona. He was with the senior team from 2012 to 2014, where he played 29 games, he did not manage to score and got one assist. His time with FC Barcelona was really discreet, so it doesn't take long for him to leave the team
