Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres was one of the most electrifying strikers of the late 2000s, combining pace, movement, and clinical finishing in a devastating package. He became a legend at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool before joining Chelsea. For Spain, Torres scored the only goal of the Euro 2008 final against Germany and added key contributions in the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. He earned 110 caps and scored 38 goals for the national team, a tally that outperforms #2 on this list by 13 goals despite playing in 11 fewer matches.
