"They were not good years for Barça. It was a difficult, transitional era. But for me it was a beautiful stage because I didn't expect it. I was already 31 years old. With time, one gives even more value to it and lives it as something even more positive," admits Roberto Tito Bonano (Rosario, Argentina, 1970). He landed at Barça just 25 years ago. He already had one foot in Alavés, but suddenly an offer from Barça arrived. "At first I didn't believe it. I asked my agent if it was a joke. I didn't expect it because they said they would sign Oliver Kahn, Buffon, or someone like that. But I was the cheapest because I was South American and had been released from River Plate," he says.
