Barcelona may well look back upon the halcyon days of 2014 and wish they could take back the six years of transfers they have since gone on to waste.
That year saw the superb signings of Luis Suarez, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Ivan Rakitic, with all three still part of the first team six years on.
While Suarez was a pricey £75million acquisition from Liverpool, Rakitic cost just £16m from Sevilla and Ter Stegen was even less at just shy of £11m from Monchengladbach.
Since then, the club have gone on to spend 10 times that collective amount to buy a whole host of players who have done very little for the club and their unwavering desire to win trophies.
