Christian Vieri & Marcelo Salas were among the world-class strikers who did not make the list
#6 David Trezeguet

Trezegol does not get the adulation he deserves which is a shame as he was a super striker
A truly gifted finisher, it is something of a surprise that Trezegol is not mentioned more when it comes to great strikers who have made their mark in European football at the highest level.

A great scorer of goals rather than a scorer of great goals, Trezeguet’s statistics belie the effectiveness of a player who at his peak guaranteed goals in whatever shape, form or manner was needed.
With 273 goals in 557 games, Re David (King David as he was known among the Juventini) is best remembered for the golden goal that gave France victory at the Euro 2000 final against Italy.
Renowned for his aerial ability, top class poacher’s instinct, ability to capitalize on defensive slip-ups and all-around effectiveness, Trezegol’s rep surely deserves more recognition than it has gotten.

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.
I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).
Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
