In the 21st century, few clubs are anywhere near as successful as Chelsea and Barcelona in terms of trophies. Some of the best players in the world have played for either side, and 13 throughout history have even played for both.
Andreas Christensen looks set to be the next to do so, with his move to Barcelona on a free transfer from Chelsea far beyond the point of rumours.
It would make him the 14th player to wear the two famous shirts, and he would be hoping to join the ranks of the many who won trophies at both as well.
So here are the previous 13 in no particular order, along with how they got on at both clubs.
Samuel Eto’o
The Cameroonian legend, who scored 130 goals in 199 games for Barcelona, played for 12 different clubs throughout his career, which included one season at Chelsea in 2013-14.
His time at Chelsea was entertaining, if not that prolific, Eto’o getting 12 goals in 35 appearances, including a hat-trick against Manchester United and an iconic celebration against Tottenham.
His manager Jose Mourinho had suggested that the striker’s real age was 35 when he was actually 32. In retaliation, Eto’o scored against Spurs and celebrated in style…

Belletti spent three years at Chelsea, scoring five goals in 94 appearances, before returning to Brazil with Fluminese on a free transfer in 2010.
