From Mestalla to Camp Nou. Luis Enrique recruited Jérémy Mathieu to play for Barça when he took over as manager at the club in 2014. News that even surprised the French defender himself at the time. "When I told my son Barça had called me, I couldn't refuse," the now-retired player would explain years later. Although he had made his career as a left-back, he often played as a center-back for Barça. The Asturian coach was his main supporter, and Mathieu, who was a regular backup in the center of defense, had some iconic performances, such as the goal he scored with his head in a Clásico in March 2015 that helped Barça secure the three points (2-1). That season, Barça went on to win their second treble in history.
