Shirt No: 10
Age: 22
Caps: 34
Goals: 17
Club: Real Madrid

Profile:

The hottest property in European football, his brilliant scoring record at club and international level belies his youth.

Confident on both feet and a goalscorer from 30 yards or 30 centimetres, he is the jewel in the Spanish crown and should be one of the stars of this summer's tournament.

Netted Real's third in the Champions League final against Valencia and will hope to improve on his showing at France 98 this summer.

Scored an astonishing 11 goals in eight qualifying matches, including hat-tricks against Austria and San Marino.

Will count himself unlucky for failing to finish one of a number of chances against Norway in Rotterdam.

Buried an absolute howitzer against Slovenia.

Did not score but set up innumerable chances for others against Yugoslavia.
