    He's 32 right now... I really don't get your point, he captained Atletico in his youth and was one of their best ever players, he's considered to be one of the best strikers liverpool has had in decades and in 2008 he was came 3rd in the Ballon d'or and a year later he was 11th and both years he made the FIFPro Team of the Year. He won the golden boot at the 2012 Euros, won UEFA player of the year in 2008, got into the UEFA team of the year that year too. I just don't get how he couldn't have been considered world class. Countless professionals rate him as the most difficult striker they've come up against and with good reason, when he wasn't injured, he was the best there was in terms of pure striker, by quite a distance too.
