Santi Cazorla is a midfield legend because of his flair, determination, and proficiency. He spent a career time at Villarreal, Málaga, Arsenal, and Al Sadd, returning to his childhood club Real Oviedo in 2023. Even though he is 40, he played a huge part in Real Oviedo's promotion to La Liga, scoring crucial free-kicks and a penalty for the team in 2025. His experience, creativity, and awareness on the pitch were invaluable as Real Oviedo navigated their way through the playoffs. His return was described by many fans and pundits as one of the finest narratives in Spanish football. While nearing retirement, Cazorla continued to maintain the level of intelligence and touching competence we have come to expect.
