Highs:
In 99-00 had arguably his best seasons, clinching best player awards, the Copa America and spanish titles, and an honourable semi-final finish in the CL.
Never really stopped scoring in his senior years, even if he doesn't play as much competitive football.
Lows:
In his only CL final, with Milan, didn't come off the bench.
Was dropped at 31 from the international squad, which might seem early, considering he's still playing to this day.
