Yeah have liked him as a player ever since the late 00s.
He's been solid and reliable for years, mostly for Sevilla, but he did an ok job at times for Man City too. Won three medals for Spain. He was involved in the move that led to Iniesta's winning goal in South Africa, too.
He showed his intelligence also in converting to a right-back from right winger as he lost his pace. He's a La Liga legend.
