He has also seen his fair share of set-piece duties for his former clubs - Sevilla, Barcelona, and Juventus, and managed to score direct free-kick goals in the Champions League on two different occasions with different teams.
His first goal from a dead-ball situation came back in the 2007-08 season, when he was still with Sevilla, against Fenerbahce.
