Johan Cruyff
The Dutch playmaker had a strong career for both club and country, picking up important trophies with Ajax, Barcelona, and the Dutch national team. Known for his incredible technique and creativity, Cruyff created one of the most popular skill moves in the game, the Cruyff Turn. His style also became synonymous with the Dutch style of play called “Total Football,” which he helped to pioneer and perfect during his time as a player and coach.
Rivaldo
Contents
Brazilian Rivaldo’s technique played a big part in his versatility, which is why he thrived at numerous offensive positions for both club and country. As FC Barcelona’s unstoppable attacking threat during the five years with the club, he highlighted that tenure by becoming La Liga’s top scorer in the 1998-99 season with 24 goals, leading the club to their second consecutive league title. In 1999, Rivaldo won the Ballon d’Or and was crowned FIFA World Player of the Year. He also shined for his national team for a number of years, winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 after earning a second-place finish in 1998.
Steven Gerrard
Perhaps the most important player in the history of Liverpool Football Club, local boy Gerrard rose through the academy before breaking into the first team and cementing his place for more than a decade. Gerrard’s list of accomplishments and highlights is rather long, but he is perhaps best remembered for his performance in the 2005 Champions League final, where he masterminded his team’s historic comeback after going down 3-0 to AC Milan.
Eusebio

One of the earliest legends of the game, Portuguese striker Eusébio da Silva Ferreira (known only as Eusébio), dominated at the club and international level at a time when his country was not particularly known as a football powerhouse. He led Portugal to a third-place finish in the only World Cup they qualified for during his international career, and helped Benfica shock the world by scoring two goals in their 5-3 win over Real Madrid in the 1962 European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) final.
Roberto Baggio
The diverse, creative Italian sometimes known as Il Divin Cotino (The Divine Ponytail) led his national team in three World Cup tournaments and picked up numerous accolades, despite never lifting the famous trophy. The midfielder took his talents to nearly all of the top clubs in Italy, often finding himself to be the finest player on the pitch no matter who he was playing with or against. Baggio possessed killer instincts on the ball, finding space or passes that few others would have even noticed, and his curling free kicks still show up in highlight reels around the football world.
Raul
Madrid native Raúl Gonzalez Blanco (known simply as Raúl) broke into the Real Madrid first team at only 17 to become the youngest ever to play for the club. The Spanish striker went on to earn numerous honors with Real Madrid, including six La Liga titles and an impressive three UEFA Champions League trophies. Raúl also topped Real Madrid’s all-time scoring chart for a number of years before being surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Frank Lampard
Despite starting his career with West Ham United, London-born midfielder Lampard became a Chelsea legend after 13 years and 429 appearances for the club. A versatile midfielder, Lampard was as proficient in his tackling and defending as he was creating chances and scoring goals at the other end of the pitch. Lampard picked up a number of trophies during his Chelsea tenure, including three Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League medal.
Claude Makélélé
Considered by many to be the greatest defensive midfielder, if not of all-time, at least of his generation. The French international thrived in La Liga with Real Madrid, but it was after he joined Chelsea in the English Premier League that Makélélé truly cemented his status as an all-time great. His marking of opponents and reading of the game were revolutionary, and all defensive midfielders since have been held to the Makélélé standard.
Fabio Cannavaro
A defender whose individual accolades could fill multiple pages, Italian center back Cannavaro is one of the few defenders who stood out so far above the rest that he even outshined those in flashier attacking roles. He captained Italy’s only World Cup-winning side in 2006 and capped the year off with his incredible Ballon d’Or win—he is still the only defender to receive the illustrious award since 1996.
FIFA 19 is expected on September 28, 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook and Twitter for other news and information.
