10 Pro Evolution Soccer Legends Who Flopped In Real Life

10. Rahmane Barry

The name Rahmane Barry won’t mean a lot to the casual football fan, but for Pro Evolution Soccer players, the man was nothing short of a Master League legend.

Essentially Pro Evo’s answer to Football Manager, Master League saw gamers take control of their very own team and squad, with the aim of becoming the strongest in the league and eventually, the world.

It was a mode that saw players grow and develop into world superstars, with stats often improving season after season. That was where Barry came in.

A rising star on the books at Marseille in those early incarnations of PES, anyone playing Master League for more than a handful of seasons would soon note the emergence of the Senegalese striker as one of the best forwards on the game.

He was strong, fast and brilliant in the air. Or, at least, he was on Pro Evolution Soccer. It didn’t quite go as planned in real life though.

Barry only managed five appearances in Ligue 1 for Marseille, instead embarking on a string of disappointing loan moves to teams lower down the football pyramid in France.

To this day, no one is entirely sure if the Dakar-born striker was any good – he only managed to score six goals in his senior footballing career.

Despite earning nine caps for Senegal, Barry’s career ended at the age of just 27.

He was one hell of a player though – on the game, that is.
