Papu Gómez

Papu Gomez is simply a joy to watch, and I never tire of him. A 165 cm playmaker out of Buenos Aires, he turns his small stature into an advantage, dancing past defenders with a low center of gravity and endless invention. His years driving Atalanta to the European stage marked one of the great underdog stories of recent Serie A, and his versatility across the left wing and the number ten role is a delight. What moves me most is that he keeps playing well into the later chapters of his career, even in lower divisions. That, to me, is proof of a man who simply adores the game. He is a football kid who never grew up.
