REAL LIFE

After a successful spell at Real, Hagi became one of the few players to play for Spain’s top two clubs when he later joined Barcelona. He ended his club career at Galatasaray where he won four consecutive league titles and two European titles. Known as ‘The King’ in his homeland, Hagi received 124 caps for Romania, and scored a record 35 goals.

1989
Steaua became one of the big names in European football in the late 1980s and Hagi, nicknamed “Regele” (The King), played a huge part in the success of the red and blue.
His final season playing in the Romanian capital saw the end of a successful four-year period with the club, winning 3 consecutive Romanian Liga 1 Championships, a European Super Cup and 2 Cupa României medals, scoring the winner to beat the local rivals Dinamo in the 1988-89 final.
1992
The 25-year-old Hagi impressed at the 1990 FIFA World Cup™ with Romania and his performances could not be ignored by the big clubs as he became the most expensive player Real Madrid had ever bought, costing $4.3 million. During his career at Real, Hagi netted 20 times and won the Spanish Super Cup in 1990.
Scorer of some fine long-range efforts, his strike from the centre circle against Osasuna was voted the most spectacular goal from distance in the Spanish newspaper Marca.
1996
Gheorghe Hagi’s final club was Turkish giants Galatasaray. In his four-year spell, Hagi collected many honours, scoring 73 goals and making 26 assists. He helped them win the Turkish league title each season, the Turkish Cup twice, a UEFA Cup and a UEFA Super Cup, which came against former club Real Madrid.
At the age of 35, in his last major tournament, Romania made the UEFA Euro 2000 quarter-finals. He remains the joint leading goal scorer for Romania.
