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.
