His 3 crucial goals in the 2010 World Cup helped secure Spain's first title, and he scored a total of 12 tournament goals across Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup, and Euro 2012, more than any other Spanish player in that golden era.

He starred at clubs including Villarreal, Valencia, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid before finishing his career in the United States and Japan.
