Crazy to think back to the Atletico team that featured a young Aguero and just-off-peak Forlan. Hell of a pairing.

Huge fan of Forlan, Its a bit of a "bit" of mine, but I always throw it out there that Forlan over the span of his career, ended up with a better career than Rooney. Might not have had the trophies but had infinitely more international success, despite being from a tiny country compared to Rooney.
