No love lost. Luis Enrique returns to the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time as Barcelona boss on Saturday, but the reception will be anything but cordial for the Asturian coach.
A promising player with hometown club Sporting Gijon, Luis Enrique signed for Real Madrid in a deal worth 250 million pesetas (around €1.5m) in 1991. But after five seasons at the Bernabeu in which he never truly won over the support of the madridistas, the former forward did the unthinkable and moved to Barcelona on a free transfer.
