Barcelona

In 2002, after seven successful seasons with Boca Juniors, the central midfielder was transferred to FC Barcelona for a reported €11 million. In the Sport of Association football, each of the eleven players on a team is assigned to a particular position on the field of play Fútbol Club Barcelona ( Catalan fudˈbɔɫ ˌklup bəɾsəˈlonə Spanish ˈfutβol ˌkluβ baɾθeˈlona known familiarly as Barça (Spanish ˈbaɾsa Catalan [1] This new stage of his life proved to be a difficult and troubling time. Shortly before his departure from Boca, his brother, Cristian, was kidnapped. Riquelme negotiated for his brother's release and eventually paid the ransom. He has stated before this was one of the reasons why he chose to leave Boca although it has also been noted Riquelme was in dispute with Boca over his contract at the time. His arrival at Barcelona was seen as a failure. Due to the club's struggling fortunes, there was intense pressure on Riquelme to perform well. However, Barca's current coach at the time, Louis van Gaal described Riquelme as a "political signing"[2] and treated him with indifference. Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal (born August 8, 1951 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch football manager currently in charge When Van Gaal did play him on rare occasions, Riquelme was deployed on the flanks (which is completely out of position for a central attacking midfielder like Riquelme). He was unable to find his form during a period of largely substitute appearances, losing his place in the first team as well as his confidence. Van Gaal instead chose to use him as a backup player, standing in during Spanish Cup and Champions League Group stage matches. Here, Riquelme was able to play as a playmaker and he produced some excellent moments, including an almost solo 1-0 win over Club Brugge. However, his general playing form made him redundant, and he was loaned to Villarreal a year later.

Riquelme' is often cited as the main factor in Villarreal's ascendancy in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League through the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons.

As a result of his influential play, he earned a nomination for the 2005 FIFA World Player of the Year award. The FIFA World Player of the Year is an Association football award given annually to the male and female player who are thought to be the best in the world based In an effort to keep hold of him, Villarreal bought up 75% of Riquelme's rights from Barcelona for up to 8 million euros, dependent on Villarreal performance next two seasons, and gave the player a 4-year contract.
