#1 Joan Capdevila
Capdevila was arguably the player who went under the radar to the greatest extent. He started all the games for his side at the left-back position, delivering solid performances consistently.
Trending
Spain kept a clean sheet in all but one of their games in the tournament and Capdevila was definitely a contributing factor. His experience, leadership qualities, and professionalism were valuable to his side.
At club level, he represented Villarreal in 2010. Previously he had played for Deportivo for seven years where he first came to the fore. After leaving Villarreal, he played for numerous sides which included Benfica and Espanyol.
Capdevila retired in 2015, ending a career which spanned for more than 18 years. His last club was Lierse in the Belgian Pro League. His career was not glamorous, but his contribution in the 2010 World Cup will always be remembered by Spanish fans.
