During the series of flop signings by the Catalonian giants, FC Barcelona, one of the flop was the €41m signing of Brazilian forward Malcom from Bordeaux which was later proved as a transfer market error from the Catalonian giants.
The forward was on the list of the Blaugranas in the 2018/19 campaign and netted four goals in 24 appearances, with the most famous strike of him scoring up against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, however, he also scored against Inter in the Champions League.
