My Take
Joaquín is one of those players who makes you genuinely sad that football careers have to end. A right winger out of El Puerto de Santa María, he spent the bulk of his career at Real Betis — two stints bookending stops at Valencia, Málaga, and Fiorentina — and somehow kept playing at the top level well into his forties, retiring in 2023. What I love about him isn't just the pace or the filthy dribbling; it's the personality. He became a TV presenter basically while still lacing up boots, and his sense of humor is as quick as his feet ever were. The 2020 Medal of Andalusia felt long overdue for a guy who was the heartbeat of Andalusian football for two decades. A genuine one-of-a-kind.
