Player Profile: Luis Figo
Name: Luis Figo
Born: Almada, Portugal
Nationality: Portugal
Position: Winger
DOB: 4/11/1972
Current Club: Inter Milan

A teenager of outrageous talent and now one of the game's premier wide midfield players, Luís Figo relishes teasing defenders with his trickery and dribbling ability.

Figo has won just about every honour available to him at club level and was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2001.

He has won more than 100 caps and has done more as an ambassador for Portuguese football than any player since the great Eusebio. Euro 2004 will be his last, and best, chance to claim the major title that has always eluded him and his country. Also Euro 2004 is a special tournament for him, as he plays it in his own country and is one of the three ambassadors representing the tournament from Portugal, along with legendary Eusebio and Hugo Viana

Figo went on to help Real Madrid to the league title in his first season and the Champions League the following year and also drove Portugal through a great qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup.

He no longer possesses the stunning change of pace but he retains an exquisite touch and has developed a street-wise determination that contributes countless free kicks to the Real cause.

Seen as a surplus to requirements at Real Madrid, and after a trophy less season, Figo left for Internazionale in Italy in summer 2005.
