Historic number

Abde was the last player to wear 16, until he left in the summer. It's a number with quite a history. Sylvinho (2004-09) and Sergio Busquets (2009-14) are the players who kept it the longest, and it once belonged to current coach Xavi Hernández in the 2000/01 season before he adopted his now legendary number 6.

Other players who have worn this number are Oscar García (1995-97), Ciric (1997-99), Mario (2003/04), Douglas (2014/15), Sandro (2015/16), Samper (2016/17) 2018/19), Deulofeu (2017/18), Wague (2019/20), Pjanic (2022/23) and current player Pedri, who has since switched to the number 8.
