Nelu Mata

This flamboyant Spaniard covers the flank like a supersonic blur, blending elite speed with a fearless aerial presence that makes him impossible to ignore. His tactical intuition is lethal, though he sometimes lets his theatrical flair get the better of him when clearing a ball. Legend has it he once tried to execute a triple backflip celebration after stopping a routine cross, nearly dislocating his own shoulder in the process.
