A left foot that drew gasps from the Camp Nou. Rivaldo built one of the finest late-career résumés of his era: a Ballon d'Or with Barcelona in 1999, the FIFA World Cup with Brazil in 2002, and the Champions League with AC Milan in 2003. The injury-time bicycle kick against Valencia is still required viewing.

Three things to drop into conversation
- 01His June 2001 hat-trick against Valencia — capped by a 20-yard last-minute bicycle kick — is routinely listed as the greatest hat-trick ever scored.
- 02Grew up with bow-leggedness brought on by childhood malnutrition; the gait stayed and became part of his signature dribble.
- 03One of only ten players to win the World Cup, the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or.
