Despite of being one of the best Spanish sides domestically, Barcelona did not win their first European Cup until 1992 when Johan Cruyff's Dream Team beat Sampdoria in the Final.  For a club with such a long and successful record, the victory was long overdue. However, in the 21st Century, Barcelona's luck changed.  They had won four, more titles.

Honorable Mention
Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon), Evaristo (Brazil), Diego Maradona (Argentina), Neymar (Brazil), Deco (Portugal), Allan Simonsen (Denmark), Michael Reiziger (Netherlands), Patrick Kluivert (Netherlands), Hans Krankl (Austria), Steve Archibald (Scotland), Gary Lineker (England), Fernando Couto (Portugal), Zoltán Czibor (Hungary).

Squad Explanation-
- Laszlo Kubala(Slovakia), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Romario (Brazil), Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgaria), Dani Alves (Brazil), Ronald Koeman  (Holland),  Johan Neeskens (Holland), Rivaldo (Brazil), Ronaldinho (Brazil) and Johan Cruyff (Holland) were on my all-time for Barcelona.
-- Ruud Hesp (Holland), Claudio Bravo (Chile, Marc-André ter Stegen (Germany), Éric Abidal (France), Javier Mascherano (Argentina), Rafael Marquez (Mexico), Frank De Boer (Holand), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Holland), Phillip Cocu (Holland), Luis Figo (Portugal), Luis Suarez Diaz (Uruguay), Sandor Kocsis (Hungary), Michael Laudrup (Denmark), Bernd Schuster (Germany) and Ronaldo (Brazil) were not on my all-time Barcelona team.
-- Only 4 foreign goalkeepers earned significant playing time with  Barcelona: Ruud Hesp, Vitor Baia, Claudio Bravo and Marc-André ter Stegen.  I dropped Vitor Baia, despite the fact he had better international reputation than the other three.  Ruud Hesp and Marc-André ter Stegen had longer spells than him in Barcelona.  In fact, Hesp took over the starting position from Vitor Baia during their career here.
--Paulino Alcántara (the Philippines/Spain) has represented both the Philippines and Spain. Normally, I would put the first country for oriundo players.  Alfredo Di Stéfano, José Santamaría and Héctor Rial had represented for Spain, but they were considered to be foreign players. However, Paulino Alcántara had played for Catalonia before he played for the Philippines.  So I put him as a domestic player. He is not considered to be a foreign player.
-- Phillip Cocu held one of the highest appearance record for a foreigner at the club. Besides, the team needs a midfielder. 
-- I chose to take Giovanni van Bronckhorst over Michael Reiziger.  I probably do not need an extra left back because Frank De Boer can also play there.
-- Luis Figo was added to the team because this team needed a right winger. He was controversial, but he was also great at Barcelona. He was never a serious consideration for the all-time team because of his "deflection". For this foreign only team, I would overlook the transfer move because the alternative selection is limited.  Michael Laudrup and Ronaldo also left Barcelona for Real Madrid.
-- Ronaldo, Luis Suarez Diaz and Sandor Kocsis edged out Neymar, Samuel Eto'o and Evaristo. Luis Suarez's stats and numbers speak for himself. He has scored over 180 goals for the club.  Patrick Kluivert was not seriously considered as compared to the players I just mentioned, but he still earned honourable mention. 
-- Ronaldo scored 34 goals in 37 games for his only season with Barcelona.  No one in Barcelona's history had a better season than he did in 1996-1997.  In fact, that might be the greatest single season performance by any player in Europe. 
-- Samuel Eto'o deserved to be on this team.  For some fans, he deserved it more than Ronaldo.
-- Neymar's move to PSG basically killed his chance to be on this team.  He was up against Johan Cruyff, Rivaldo, Hristo Stoichkov, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Romario and Laszlo Kubala for a spot.
-- Diego Maradona's spell with Barcelona was cut short by a serious injury.  I seriously considered him. In the end, Michael Laudrup edged him out.

Formation
Hesp was more steady while playing for Barcelona.
