When Michael Barrios signed with FC Dallas in 2015, the speedy goal scorer arrived at the right time for a Dallas club ready to unleash a revamped attack.

Who do you focus on? Who do you stop?
Though Castillo was likely the higher rated of the duo and got more press and hype, it was Michael Barrios who ended up being a steal of a signing.
