As Rafael Marquez prepares to embark on a new adventure in the United States, Goal.com looks back at five of his best moments in a Barcelona jersey.
Between arriving at Camp Nou from Monaco in 2003 and departing for New York today, Rafa has played well over 200 games for the Blaugrana, winning four league titles, two Champions Leagues, and a lot more besides.
But what exactly were the most sparkling times for Rafa?
5. Clasico at Camp Nou, November 2004
That night in Camp Nou Barcelona displayed a supreme performance to defeat arch-rivals Real Madrid 3-0. The Blaugrana would go on to win the Spanish Primera Division title that season for the first time since 1999 and that win over los Blancos was massively encouraging.
Madrid rarely asked questions of Barca's defense that night and much was down due to Rafael Marquez's solid performance. Luis Figo, Raul, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Carlos and David Beckham all started but all were blocked by a defense marshaled by the Mexican.
