Highs:
In 98, in his 2nd season at Internazionale (with team-mates such as Pagliuca, Winter, Recoba, Zamorano and Ronaldo) wins the UEFA Cup, and later the World Cup, France's first. Two years later came the Euro Cup, ensuring France had done what only Germany, and later Spain, managed to: holding both major international titles at the same time.
Lows:
Despite winning a domestic cup and becoming the league's top scorer with Monaco, he only achieved international recognition in 96 when he won the UEFA Cup with PSG, being already 28 years old.
His post-Inter years were spent in relatively modest clubs that didn't do much to improve his career, or silverware collection.
