Morientes could have scored more if it wasnt for the bigger names

A brilliant striker signed from Zaragoza in 1997, Morientes was always destined to remain in the shadow of Raul at the Bernabeu and was ultimately forced out by the signing of Ronaldo from Inter.

Before then, though, he had proven himself as a deadly marksman. During his debut campaign he scored four times in just 10 European outings, and though he did not net in the season that followed, he got 13 more goals in the next two years.

Among his strikes was a goal again Valencia in the Champions League final of 2000.

He proved his value during a loan spell at Monaco, who reached the final at Madrid’s expense – with Moreintes getting a goal as the Ligue 1 side knocked out his parent club on away goals thanks to a thrilling comeback from three down.

Although he later returned to the Bernabeu, he was never quite the same player and swiftly moved on to Liverpool.
