The left foot of... Lionel Messi
Trending
The diminutive Argentine’s legs are so valuable that he insured both of them for a rumoured €550 million, which breaks down to a yearly payment of €300,000 to €400,000. For years now, it’s been the left foot of Lionel that has guided Barcelona to unprecedented success.
As of December 2016, Messi had scored 530 goals for club and country in all competitions, as well as having made 223 assists, having won eight La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions League crowns in the process.
Whether it’s a delicate chip over an onrushing goalkeeper, a blistering strike from distance or a sublimely slotted-away spot-kick, Messi always finds a way of working the magic with his left foot, leaving pundits and journalists alike speechless, and lacking the superlatives to describe one of the finest talents world football has even seen.
The right foot of.... Dennis Bergkamp
Despite being primarily right-footed, Dennis Bergkamp possessed the versatility to play anywhere across a team’s frontline. In 11 years at Arsenal, the ‘Non-Flying Dutchman’ bagged 120 goals, rising to prominence especially under the stewardship of Arsene Wenger.
His spectacle of a strike against Newcastle in 2002 is regarded as one of the best goals the Premier League has ever seen, as Bergkamp flicked the ball over defender Niko Dabizas and dispatched the chance calmly into the bottom corner.
The Dutch delight’s formidable combination of flair and confidence supplied him with expert ball control, technique and finishing and he is regarded as one of the Netherlands’ greatest talents of all time.
