Cambiasso is one of the most decorated Argentine footballers of this generation

Winner of more than 23 official titles in his illustrious career, Esteban Cambiasso is one of the most well-respected footballers of this generation. A technically gifted defensive midfielder, Cambiasso is best remembered for his time at Inter Milan, although he had spells at River Plate, Leicester City and Real Madrid themselves.

Part of the Real Madrid youth team from 1996-98, Cambiasso was soon deemed not good enough and sold to South American giants Independiente. He later joined Argentine superclub River Plate where a string of impressive performances drew the attention of Real Madrid once again.

Cambiasso made 41 League appearances for Real Madrid

After a two-year spell at Madrid, the elegant Argentine was sold to Inter Milan where he won almost every club trophy possible. A true Inter legend along with Javier Zanetti, Cambiasso then joined Leicester City where he played a crucial role in saving the Foxes from relegation.
