5 Players Who Played for Both Barcelona and Benfica
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatApp

FC Barcelona and SL Benfica are two of the biggest clubs in European football, known for their talent development and rich history. Over the years, several players have had the privilege of wearing both jerseys. Here are five footballers who played for both Barça and Benfica.

1. Nélson Semedo

The Portuguese right-back joined Barcelona in 2017 after impressing at Benfica. He played three seasons at the Camp Nou before moving to Wolves in 2020. His pace and attacking runs made him a key figure in Barcelona’s defense.

2. Álex Grimaldo

A product of La Masia, Grimaldo never got a first-team chance at Barcelona but became a star at Benfica after moving in 2016. He spent several years dominating the Portuguese league before joining Bayer Leverkusen.

3. André Gomes

The Portuguese midfielder started his European journey at Benfica before moving to Valencia and later signing for Barcelona in 2016. Although he struggled to meet expectations at the Camp Nou, he later found success at Everton.

4. Javier Saviola

The Argentine forward arrived at Barcelona in 2001 with high expectations. After several seasons at the club, he later joined Benfica in 2009, where he played a key role in their attack.

5. Keirrison

Barcelona signed the Brazilian striker in 2009, but he never played an official game for the club. Instead, he was sent on multiple loan spells, including one at Benfica, where he struggled to make an impact.

Bottom line

These players have left their mark at both Barcelona and Benfica, experiencing the football culture of two iconic clubs. Did we miss any names? Let us know in the comments!
