Gonzalo Higuaín

Gonzalo Higuaín is one of those strikers who could make scoring look almost unfairly easy — and then, in the biggest moments, somehow make it look impossibly hard. At Real Madrid, Napoli, and Juventus, El Pipita was a force of nature: his movement off the ball was chess-level smart, his finishing inside the box as clinical as anyone of his generation. He set Serie A's all-time single-season scoring record with 36 goals for Napoli in 2015–16, a number that still stands. But Argentina's World Cup and Copa América heartbreaks — missed chances that haunt highlight reels — became his complicated legacy. I think the criticism was always a little unfair; the guy was just that good that people expected him to carry a whole nation. He wound down his career at Inter Miami, and honestly, seeing him enjoy the game without the weight of a country's expectations on his back felt right.
