Seydou Keita: Underrated midfielder master in the period of dominance for Barca

Seydou Keita was never able to establish himself as a regular starting midfielder for Barcelona, but his contributions to La Blaugrana did not go unnoticed.

Keita could play everywhere on the center of the pitch, from defensive midfielder to right outside of the box. He had a sweet touch and great court vision, as well as an underrated ability as a finisher.  Keita made over 100 appearances for Barcelona during their hugely successful period under Pep Guardiola, where they won 14 titles.
