Milan Baroš (Czech pronunciation:[ˈmɪlanˈbaroʃ]; born 28 October 1981) is a Czech former professionalfootballer who played as aforward.
In 2005, he was part of theLiverpool team which won theUEFA Champions League. He went on to winLigue 1 withLyon in 2007, theFA Cup withPortsmouth in 2008 and theSüper Lig withGalatasaray in 2012. He also had spells withBaník Ostrava, where he started his career, and English clubAston Villa, and retired from professional football in 2020 following his fourth spell at Baník Ostrava.
Born inValašské Meziříčí, Baroš represented theCzech Republic international team in 93 matches, scoring on 41 occasions. He won theGolden Boot as top scorer of theEuro 2004 tournament, where his nation reached the semi-finals. He went on to play in three more major international tournaments. His 41 goals for the Czech Republic is second behind onlyJan Koller.
As a boy, Baroš played for youth clubs in Vigantice andRožnov pod Radhoštěm before joining the youth team ofBaník Ostrava at the age of 12.[3] In 1998, he made his debut for the club in theCzech First League, the top division of Czech football, becoming a regular over the next few seasons.[4] In 2000, he won the Talent of the Year award at theCzech Footballer of the Year awards.[5] He was described by the Czech News Agency in the 2000–01 season as "perhaps the biggest star of the [Czech] football league".[6] He played his last game for the club on 2 December 2001, in a 1–0 loss atViktoria Žižkov.[7] During his time in Ostrava, he scored 23 league goals in 76 appearances.[7]
Baroš joinedLiverpool in July 2001 for an undisclosed fee and on a contract of undisclosed length; he joined compatriotsPatrik Berger andVladimír Šmicer at the club.[8] The BBC estimated his transfer fee as£3.2 million.[9] He did not move to England straight away due to delays in obtaining awork permit,[10] which was obtained in December.[11] He made his club debut in aUEFA Champions League tie away toBarcelona on 13 March 2002;[12] he played the last 16 minutes in place ofEmile Heskey as the match finished goalless.[13] It was his only appearance of the2001–02 season.[12]
In the2002–03 season, Baroš scored twice on hisPremiership debut away toBolton Wanderers on 14 September 2002, as Liverpool won 3–2 away.[14] Baroš was a substitute in the2003 Football League Cup Final againstManchester United. He entered the game in the second half, but did not play to the end of the game, being substituted himself a minute before the end of the game.[15] Liverpool won the game 2–0 to win the cup, the first major trophy of Baroš' career.[15] Towards the end of the season, he scored twice in a 6–0 away win over already-relegatedWest Bromwich Albion in April 2003.[16] He ended his first season in the Premiership with 12 goals for the club.
Baroš broke his ankle in a September 2003 match againstBlackburn Rovers, a match which also saw teammateJamie Carragher sustain a broken leg.[17] Baroš subsequently missed five months of football and scored just two goals in the2003–04 season.[18] His first goal came in a league match againstLeeds United in February 2004,[19] while his other goal was in March in a 1–1 Champions League draw againstMarseille.[20] Baroš would later claim that had managerGérard Houllier stayed at the club after the summer of 2004, he would have put in a transfer request.[18] As it was, Houllier left the club and was replaced byRafael Benítez.[21]
Baroš entered the2004–05 season having been the top goalscorer in the summer'sEuro 2004[22] tournament. WithMichael Owen and Emile Heskey having been sold and new signingDjibril Cissé out with a long-term injury, Baroš was now Liverpool's only senior striker.[22] Despite being the club's joint top scorer with 13 goals, including ahat-trick againstCrystal Palace,[23] SpaniardFernando Morientes was preferred to Baroš in Liverpool's starting lineup for theLeague Cup Final, a match they lost toChelsea.[24] However, he did start the2005 Champions League Final, being substituted after 85 minutes as the game finished 3–3 in normal time.[25] Liverpool went on to win the match on penalties. Baroš reportedly dropped the trophy during the team's celebration, leaving a dent, but Liverpool decided not to mend it because it "added to the character" of the trophy.[26] He finished the season with 13 goals, becoming the joint-top scorer for the club.[27] Baroš also received his first red card during the campaign, being sent off for a high challenge onEverton'sAlan Stubbs in theMerseyside derby on 20 March.[28]
In June 2005, former manager Gérard Houllier, then with French clubLyon, made an approach to sign Baroš. The player rejected the approach,[29] but only made two substitute appearances for Liverpool in the2005–06 season before leaving the club. He left Liverpool with league figures of 19 goals in 68 appearances.[30]
Baroš moved to Premiership sideAston Villa for a fee of £6.5 million in August 2005, signing a four-year contract.[27] He was given the number 10 shirt.[31] Just ten minutes into his Aston Villa debut, he scored the only goal in his new team's league victory over Blackburn.[32] He played a crucial role in Villa'sLeague Cup second round victory againstWycombe Wanderers in September.[33] With Villa trailing 3–1 at half time, Baroš scored shortly after the beginning of the second half and won a penalty, whichGareth Barry converted.[33] He also provided the cross for Barry's second goal of the game as Villa scored seven goals in the second half, resulting in a final score of 8–3, their biggest win in over 40 years.[33] He set up the first Aston Villa goal in a November match againstSunderland in dubious circumstances; back-heeling the ball, which "looked to have gone out of play" toAaron Hughes.[34] Hughes' pass foundKevin Phillips, who opened the scoring against his old club. He later scored a goal himself in the same game, which ended 3–1 to Villa.[34]
In theBoxing Day match against Everton, Baroš was involved thoroughly in the proceedings. He opened the scoring in the 35th minute, having handled the ball immediately beforehand.[35] This was not punished and the referee awarded a goal.[35] Baroš subsequently celebrated in front of the travelling Everton fans, making a gesture as if to listen to them.[36] A number of missiles from the crowd were subsequently thrown in Baroš' direction.[36] The goal was just his third in what Glenn Moore ofThe Independent described as "an indifferent season" for Baroš.[37] He went on to score his second goal of the game, and Villa's fourth, earning himman of the match honours.[37] Baroš scored twice in January 2006's fourth roundFA Cup win againstPort Vale,[38] and added another in the following round's 1–1 draw withManchester City.[39] Late in the season, he scored two goals in theSecond City derby againstBirmingham City at Villa Park, marking his 11th and 12th goals of the season and winning another man of the match award.[40] He would score no further goals that season.
Baroš failed to score at the start of the2006–07 season, leading new managerMartin O'Neill to challenge him in October to prove himself before the Januarytransfer window.[41] He subsequently scored his first goal of the season in December 2006, eight months since scoring his last one, with a close-range equaliser againstSheffield United in a 2–2 draw.[42] Although he also managed to score for Aston Villa in a 2–1 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup,[43] he left the club in January 2007, having scored just once in 17 league matches that season.[44]
On 22 January 2007, Baroš signed with French side Lyon, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract and reuniting with former manager Gérard Houllier from his time at Liverpool.[45] The deal swapped Baroš with Lyon strikerJohn Carew, who joined Aston Villa on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[46] Just two days after joining the club, he made his Lyon debut in a league match againstBordeaux. He appeared as a substitute, as league leaders Lyon lost 2–1 for their first home defeat of the season.[47] Baroš took part in that year'sChampions League, featuring as a substitute in a 0–0 draw inRome againstRoma.[48] He played no further part in that season's Champions League campaign, as he remained on the bench in the return leg as Lyon were eliminated.[49]
In May 2007, Baroš was accused of making a racist gesture towards hisCameroonian opponentStéphane Mbia during Lyon's match againstRennes on 18 April.[50] After having been fouled by Mbia several times, Baroš held his nose in front of Mbia and waved his hand as if to waft away an unpleasant smell.[50] In the ensuing controversy, Baroš insisted that his gesture was not intended to be racist in any way, and he was only trying to tell Mbia to get out of his face and leave him alone.[50] Baroš and Mbia were brought before an official disciplinary hearing of theLigue de Football Professionnel (LFP), which ruled that Baroš was innocent of racist behaviour, but he was nevertheless suspended for the remaining three games of the season for unsportsmanlike conduct.[50] The end of the season saw Lyon win the league title, but nonetheless manager Houllier left the club.[51]
Baroš scored in Lyon's opening game of the2007–08 season as his club won 2–0 againstAuxerre.[52] However, he played significantly less under new managerAlain Perrin, making just six starts and scoring a total of three league goals.[53] In mid-November, Baroš revealed a break down in his relationship with Perrin and hinted at a move to another club.[54]
Baroš joined Premier League sidePortsmouth on loan from Lyon in January 2008 until the end of the season, with the option of making the move permanent at the end of the loan.[53] Baroš played a significant role in the clubwinning the 2008 FA Cup. He won Portsmouth's match-winning penalty kick in the quarter-final at Manchester United and assistedNwankwo Kanu's deciding goal in the semi-final match against West Bromwich Albion with a suspected handball that went unnoticed by both the referee and his assistant.[55][56] The final match of Baroš' loan spell was the2008 FA Cup Final victory overCardiff City atWembley Stadium, where he appeared as an 87th-minute substitute for Kanu.[57] By the end of the season, Baroš had played 16 matches for Portsmouth, including seven as a substitute, although he failed to score.[57] He was one of a number of Portsmouth players to be absent at the team parade after the club won the FA Cup, leading to speculation he could have played his last game for the club.[58] At the end of the season, Baroš returned to Lyon.[59]
In August 2008, Baroš joined Turkish championsGalatasaray from Lyon for a fee of €4.7 million.[59][60] He made his first appearance againstKayserispor, playing the last 15 minutes. Baroš scored his first two goals for the club in theUEFA Cup first round, first leg game againstBellinzona.[61] Three days later, in his first league start, he once again scored two goals againstKocaelispor, with Galatasaray going on to win the match 4–1.[62] On 21 December 2008, Baroš scored a hat-trick in the 4–2Süper Ligderby win againstBeşiktaş, converting two penalties and scoring one from open play.[63] He scored another hat-trick later in the season againstHacettepe.[64] He finished the2008–09 season as the Süper Lig top scorer with 20 goals.[65]
Baroš scored his first goal of the2009–10 season in his third league game when he scored twice in a 4–1 win against Kayserispor.[66] His next two goals came on 13 September where Galatasaray played rivals Beşiktaş. Galatasaray won the match 3–0, with Baroš scoring his third and fourth goals of the season.[67] He scored a total of five times in ten matches before breaking his left foot in two places after a tackle byEmre Belözoğlu in theFenerbahçe–Galatasaray derby on 25 October 2009.[68] He returned to action four and a half months later on 14 March 2010 for a game againstAnkaragücü, scoring a goal on his comeback.[69] During the season, he scored his third hat-trick for the club in a match againstDiyarbakirspor.[64] He finished the season with league figures of 11 goals in 17 matches.[70]
In August 2010, a week before the start of the2010–11 Süper Lig, he extended his contract with Galatasaray for two seasons, keeping him contracted to the club until the end of the 2012–13 season.[70] Although he had been injured during pre-season training,[70] Baroš appeared as a substitute in his club'sUEFA Europa League qualification match againstKarpaty Lviv, scoring twice as Galatasaray returned from 2–0 down to draw the match.[71] At the end of September, he scored his fourth hat-trick for the club againstIstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor, although he failed to complete the game due to an injury.[64] He scored two more goals in a 4–2 loss against Ankaragücü on 17 October, but was injured again.[72] Baroš was suspended for three matches in March 2011 after insulting refereeFırat Aydınus in a match against Beşiktaş.[73] By the end of the season, Baroš had appeared in 17 league games and scored 9 goals.[74]
Galatasaray started the2011–12 season well and were top of the league in January, having won eight consecutive league matches.[75] Baroš did not start a match for his club for four weeks,[76] but scored an important goal againstSamsunspor in the eighth match of the streak.[75] The club won a ninth-straight game, with Baroš scoring his seventh goal of the season, in the 5–1 win againstKardemir Karabükspor, although he left the game with an injury.[77] He returned from injury in a February match againstAntalyaspor, coming on as a substitute, but was on the field of play just 15 minutes before receiving ared card.[78] His dismissal resulted in a three-match suspension.[79] Baroš scored his last goal for the club in April 2012 in the last match of the regular season againstManisaspor.[80]
In 2012, Baroš was told by then-coachFatih Terim that he would not play for the club any more.[81] He played no competitive football after Euro 2012 and finally left the club in February 2013.[7]
On 18 February 2013, Czech club Baník Ostrava announced that Baroš had rejoined the club where he started his career, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract.[82] Under the terms of the contract, his salary was donated to support the youth club of the team.[7] Having not played a competitive match since 21 June of the previous year,[7] he played his first match of the season on 23 February, coming on as a substitute in the 0–0 home draw withDynamo České Budějovice.[83] He scored a hat-trick in Ostrava's 3–0 league victory againstHradec Králové on 9 March 2013, his first hat-trick in the top flight of Czech football.[84]
On 16 July 2013, Baroš agreed a one-year contract with Turkish club Antalyaspor.[85] He made his club debut in August, appearing as a substitute in a 0–0 Süper Lig draw againstKayseri Erciyesspor.[86] He scored his first goal for Antalyaspor againstBursaspor in August, then his second againstRizespor in October.[87] He suffered damage to hisanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in December 2013, ruling him out of action for the rest of the season.

Baroš debuted for theCzech senior squad on 25 April 2001 in afriendly match againstBelgium whilst scoring his first goal as well.[95] He and national teammatePavel Nedvěd were both shown the red card in a November 2001 qualification match for the following year'sWorld Cup, as the Czech Republic were eliminated by Belgium.[96]
At UEFA Euro 2004, Baroš scored the first goal for theCzech Republic in their first game of the tournament, a come-from-behind 2–1 victory overLatvia.[97] With the goal he became the youngest goalscorer at the European Championships for the Czech Republic.[97] His second goal of the tournament came against theNetherlands; the Dutch team had taken a two-goal lead over the Czechs beforeJan Koller scored from a Baroš pass.[98] Baroš then scored beforeVladimír Šmicer completed the scoring, as the Czechs won the game 3–2.[98] The third group match saw the Czech Republic make nine changes to their starting lineup, having already qualified for the quarter-finals.[99] Baroš appeared as a substitute and scored the winning goal, as opponentsGermany failed to advance to the next stage of the tournament.[99] Baroš added two goals in two minutes of the second half of the Czechs' quarter-final win overDenmark,[100] and finished as the tournament'sGolden Boot winner with five goals.[101]
Inqualification for the 2006 World Cup, Baroš scored five goals for his country, including four in consecutive matches in 2005.[102] An injury to his foot, picked up in a match on 3 June, kept him out of2006 FIFA World Cup games against theUnited States andGhana.[103] He appeared in the Czechs' final group game againstItaly,[104] but appeared unfit and left the game after 64 minutes to be replaced byDavid Jarolím.[105][106]
