#9 Rivaldo
A World Cup winner with Brazil in 2002, Rivaldo remains a legend of the game. His most notable performances at club level came as a Barcelona player, and he would score 130 goals for the club between 1997 and 2002.
Rivaldo’s partnership up front with Patrick Kluivert bore great fruit, and helped the Catalan club to two La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey title and the UEFA Super Cup.
He was known for his effectiveness on the dead ball, as well as his ability to dribble around defenders and create chances. The former attacking midfielder is regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation, and one of the best players to ever come from Brazil.
