About Miguel Ángel Nadal
Miguel Ángel Nadal Homar (Spanish pronunciation: [miˈɣel ˈaŋxel naˈðal oˈmaɾ], Catalan: Miquel Àngel Nadal Homar; born 28 July 1966) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a versatile defender and midfielder. He began and ended his career with Mallorca, but his greatest achievements came whilst at Barcelona during the so-called Dream Team era, winning numerous domestic and continental titles. Over 19 seasons, he played 493 matches (463 of those in La Liga). A part of the Spain national team's setup during the 1990s and early 2000s, Nadal represented the nation in three World Cups and Euro 1996. In his final two seasons, after helping in a 1989 promotion from Segunda División, he scored 12 goals from 72 league appearances, thus being signed by the Catalonia club for the 1991–92 campaign. With Barça, under Johan Cruyff, Nadal was a very important part as they won five leagues, two Copa del Rey and the 1992 European Cup, playing 297 overall games and occupying several defensive positions in both the back-four and in midfield.
