What a privilege it was to watch one of the most entertaining players the game has ever seen. For three years at Barcelona he was from another planet. His bicycle kick against Villarreal is the goal I remember most because it's the only time ive ever spilt tea over myself while watching a game.



While he wasted his talent after those three years and downed tools, a bit like George Best we should just appreciate him for the years of entertainment he provided. He was a genius.

What a player, not many Barca players have the home fans standing and applauding him in a classico at the Bernabeu.

Great player but he needs to shave his teeth .

 

[ilikecheese]

Had no idea he was still playing TBH.

Last of the entertainers...glad he played in an era where most of it was caught on film. Won't be another for a while, Neymar's not even close.

Magnificent player in his prime in the mid-2000's. He was never quite the same though after a spate of injuries in around 2008 I think.

As already mentioned, one of the great entertainers.

Superbly skilled entertainer. Don't recall him cheating either.

Two things that make a true great
