Highs:
He is currently the 3rd most capped Argentinian player, having once been the most overall. He was also the first Argentinian player to achieve over one hundred caps.
Won two doubles with outsider teams, first with Atletico Madrid in 96 then Lazio in 00.

Lows:
Not much to speak of, but Argentina's World Cup record during his times were disappointing, and the fact he played for just one really top team, Internazionale, who were down on their luck, hampered his chances of winning more trophies, domestically and internationally.
