Footballers Who’ve Dominated Their Country’s Player Of The Year Award

A country's awarding of their footballer of the year award ultimately says a lot about the state of the game within that nation. For example, knowing that Argentina are loaded with talent but that one man has managed to win this individual prize on 10 occasions speaks to his standing as one of the greatest of all time.

Oriol Riera, en el buen sentido, ha tenido una muy buena carrera profesional. Ha logrado éxitos en las divisiones inferiores de España con clubes como el Cultural Leonesa y el Alcorcón, y se ha asegurado su papel como delantero trabajador en la Liga con temporadas en el Osasuna, su actual club, y en el Deportivo de La Coruña.

Sin embargo, la historia siempre recordará mejor a Riera como la respuesta a una oscura trivialidad de pubs, ya que Riera debutó en el Barça junto a un chico de 16 años que estaba haciendo su propio estreno, un tal Lionel Messi.

Barca Set A UCL Record By Attempting Nearly 1,000 Passes Against Gladbach
