Portuguese no.7 Luis Figo goes past England's Nicky Butt.
Luis Figo
Monday, 26 April 2004.
Luis Figo has matured into one of the most masterful midfielders in the world, devastatingly accurate with passes and crosses and still able to beat defenders with ease even at the age of 31.
Figo is a talisman, as well as the captain, for Portugal and the former European and World Player of the Year is bound to lead by example for for the hosts as they attempt to claim their first major international trophy on home soil.
Despite his outstanding ability and worldwide fame, the Real Madrid galactico shuns publicity off the pitch and lets his sublime skills do most of his talking.
