My Take
At 157 cm, Diego Buonanotte was always going to be the smallest man on the pitch, and that is exactly why I root for him. Coming out of tiny Teodelina in Argentina, he won the 2008 Apertura with River Plate and later tested himself in Spain with Malaga and Granada. In a sport that increasingly rewards size and power, an attacking midfielder who survives on low center of gravity, vision, and quick feet is a quiet rebuke to physical determinism. I have a soft spot for players who refuse to treat their stature as an excuse, and Buonanotte clearly never did.
