The night of 8 January 1994 is one that Barça fans that are old enough to remember will never forget. For younger fans, the 25th anniversary of that game is the perfect chance to learn a little bit more about the time when Barça blew Real Madrid off the Camp Nou park to the tune of a 5-0 victory.
The first of those five goals has gone down in history as one of the finest ever scored by the club. The side coached by Johan Cruyff were dominating the play but just couldn’t find the net until the 24th minute when future manager Pep Guardiola picked out Romario and the Brazilian’s 180 degree spin while dragging the ball with his instep is still regarded as the perfect example of what is known in the south of Europe as the ‘cow’s tail’ turn.
Buoyed by the electric home support of the Dream Team era, the goals then started flowing for the Catalans. Following a Ronald Koeman free-kick, Romario completed his hat-trick before Iván Iglesias rounded off the win.
That was the season when Deportivo looked like they were going to win their very first Liga title, but Barça snatched top spot on a dramatic final day.

El primer crack que miré y disfrute en mi niñez, para mí gusto personal, es el mejor de todos los tiempos.
Romario is real hero ❤⚽️
Ooh that assist….
il più bel gol mai visto. Romario il miglior nove del Barca. eppure venduto dopo un anno……..come Maradona. alcuni dirigenti del Barca dovrebbero essere impiccati!
Seeing Romario play gives me goose bumps
>😢😊😊😊😊
❤❤❤
Koeman's managerial carrer completely destroyed his barca legacy he scored more than 200 goal being a CB
Cruyff💔
Romário era genial. Esse time do Barcelona erra top.
Is this the match he leaves for carnival?
Fun fact: Romario left the game and proceed to airpot to catch a plane to Rio Carnival…
Last goal was 80% by Romario
Romário era um monstro!
Nice
People have called me mad for saying this, but I think Romario is better than Ronaldo9. He had a longer prime too.
His plane almost left him
Ti amo, BAUGRANA!
Romario…best finisher of all time
Romario and Maradona
ROMARIO BARÇA ICON 🔥❤💙
Romario🇧🇷
Romario Good but R9NALDO ANOTHER LEVEL ANOTHER GALAXY 👽👑💫
Dentro da área não tinha igual.. o melhor!!!
That Koeman goal was so good
Guy was the real deal
Who is heree after his iconic moment
Pes
sorry koeman 🙏🏼
Romário o gênio da área !!
Giving Romario a foot or two of space on that last line was a huge mistake. Lethal striker
Romario, Ronaldo, Eto'o, Suarez and now Luuk de Jong. What a disgrace
VASCO!
Romario 👀
Centro forward number 2 🤷🏻♂️
Number 1 fenomeno 🤷🏻♂️
Reimário
Romario's first goal is a work of art. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. The perfection of that second touch is truly incredible.
Who has his iconic moment in PES🌚
Romario 2nd goal was offside
Back then the Camp Nou was so loud. Why are the crowd so much less noisy today?
Where is the match, when he asked Cruyff for 2 days off from training and go partying in Rio, and promised to score brace in that game and he scored it in the 20 minutes of the game?
First goal looks so easy 😂
Romário genius the best player in attack
No one aid anything about koeman's sleek freekick
Laudrup with a no look assist in 1994
Barcelona deve muito ao Brasil e a América do Sul
Romário, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho do Brasil e Messi da Argentina.
Futebol sul-americano = melhor de todos!!!
