Matthias Mauger

This flamboyant Frenchman dances past defenders with blinding acceleration, yet he often leaves spectators breathless with his inexplicably weak long-range finishing. After shattering his kneecap while attempting an overly ambitious spinning rabona, he transformed his grueling rehab into a masterclass of intense technical refinement. He remains a pure thrill to watch, provided you do not expect him to test the goalkeeper from distance.
