Saviola joined Real Madrid after a brief term with Barcelona

A retired professional footballer, Saviola was known for his ability to score from any attacking position. Such was the resilience of the former Argentine International, that he was named in Pele's 100 greatest living football players, and was the youngest inclusion in the list. A versatile forward and an agile playmaker, he was well known for his tenure with Barcelona and made sure that he delivered as a world-class player.

After multiple loan spells, the Argentine International finally joined Real Madrid from Barcelona in 2007 on a three-year deal, but due to some issues in his contracts, he was restricted to play some of the most important matches for Real, ending his term with only 17 total appearances.
