Javier Mascherano made his move to Liverpool from West Ham in 2007. Knwon for his agility and maturity, the defensive midfielder formed a formidable partnership with Xabi Alonso at the heart of Liverpool midfield.

The Argentine quickly established himself as a starter in his first season at Anfield under the tutelage of Rafa Benitez. Mascherano played a crucial role in Liverpool's sensational run in the UCL where they eventually lost to Milan in the final.

After his three year tenure at Anfield, Barcelona secured his services for a fee around €17 million. Mascherano struggled to make his mark initially but was later deployed as a central defender beside Gerard Pique during his second season with the Catalan giants.

The Argentine made over 200 appearances for the Blaugrana in his seven and half year tenure at the club.
