Full Name: Yaya Toure
Squad No: 42
Position: Midfielder
Age: 29
Birth Date: May 13, 1983
Birth Place: Sokoura Bouake, Ivory Coast
Height: 6' 3'' (1.91m)
Weight: 79 kg

One of the less celebrated members of Barcelona's all-conquering 2009 side, Yaya Toure was the defensive midfield lynchpin and played a key role in their success.

A graduate of the Mimosas youth team in the Ivory Coast, Toure joined Belgian side Beveren before moving to Metalurg Donetsk, Olympiakos, Monaco, and then Barca.

His versatility should not be underestimated. That he can play effectively in defence is well known after his performance in the 2009 Champions League final against Manchester United, but he also operated as an attacking midfielder for Monaco.

Despite his impressive performances at Camp Nou, he struggled for first-team football in the 2009-10 season following the emergence of Sergio Busquets and, at the end of the campaign, he made a big-money move to the Premier League with Manchester City where he will be reunited with his brother, Kolo.

At international level, Toure has earned over 50 caps for Ivory Coast and played at both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.



Strengths:
He combines strength, poise on the ball and skill. He may be known as a defensive midfielder but he is no slouch when it comes to going on the offensive.

Weaknesses:
Considering his lofty stature, Toure is not as impressive in the air as might be expected.

Career High:
Treble triumph with Barcelona in 2009 - collecting winners' medals for the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey.

Career Low:
Being passed up by Arsenal. Yaya wanted to join his brother Kolo at the Gunners, his brother wanted him there, but Arsene Wenger had an initial bid rejected by Olympiakos and never returned with a second offer.

Style:
A powerful midfield general with the ball-playing ability necessary to be part of a free-flowing side.

Quotes:
"It was a sad decision because everybody wants to come to Barca and I have had to leave, but not playing has been difficult. I am coming to City to help them grow and reach the level of Manchester United and Chelsea." - Yaya Toure, July 2010

Trivia:
Yaya and Kolo's younger brother Ibrahim also plays professional football, as a striker for Smouha Sporting Club in Egypt, though he has never been capped by Ivory Coast.

Quick Facts:
Name: Karim Benzema
Nationality: French
Date and Place of Birth: December 19, 1987 in Lyon, France
Position: Striker
Current Club: Real Madrid (La Liga)
Previous Clubs: Lyon (2004-09)
International Career: 2007 to present

Karim Benzema enjoyed a breakthrough 2011/12 season at Real Madrid after initially struggling at the Bernabeu.

As a front man that can both score and create goals, the former Lyon player is a key figure for France.

Benzema usually operates as a central striker but has also proven his ability when cutting in from either side.

Local Boy:

After being born to Algerian parents in the French town of Lyon, Benzema started his career at local side Bron Terraillon before Lyon scouts picked him up at the tender age of nine.

After a prolific youth career in Lyon he made the breakthrough into Paul Le Guen’s first team squad at seventeen.

It took him a few seasons to find his feet in the French top flight and his appearances were limited in his first few seasons as a professional.



Hometown Hero:

An exodus of top players at the end of the 2006/07 campaign saw Benzema given the number 10 shirt ahead of the new season, and also a chance to prove his worth on a regular basis.

The confidence put in him had an instant impact and he finished the season as Ligue 1 top scorer and player of the season as well as being shortlisted for the European Player of the Year award.

In the season that followed, Lyon struggled to show the dominance that had won them seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles even though Benzema maintained his impressive goal-scoring ratio in both domestic and European football. The two contrasting fortunes added to the speculation surrounding his future.
The Move to Madrid:

Benzema departed his hometown club for Spanish giants Real Madrid in July 2009. So keen was Florentino Perez to sign the striker that the Real Madrid president visited Benzema's house to persuade him to sign. Not that Benzema needed much talking around, claiming after joining that he "dreamed about playing here as a child".

His Spanish adventure started slowly and for the first 18 months of his stay, Benzema struggled to gain a starting spot in a star-studded side.

An injury crisis midway through the 2010/11 season saw the Frenchman grab his opportunity to make his mark at the Bernabeu, eventually finishing the season with 26 goals in all competitions and a Copa del Rey medal.

Since then he has become a key figure in Madrid’s recent success, contributing to a campaign which saw Real take the Spanish title away from fierce rivals Barcelona.
International Career:

Although eligible to represent Algeria, Benzema was part of the French international set-up from a very young age, winning the UEFA Under-17 European Championships in 2004.

He scored on his debut for the full international side in a 1-0 win over Austria in 2007 before featuring in France’s ill-fated Euro 2008 campaign where Les Bleus finished bottom of their group.

He was omitted by Raymond Domenech for what turned out to be a dire and tumultuous 2010 World Cup campaign, with the coach citing Benzema's poor club form with Real Madrid, rather than his alleged participation in a sex scandal involving an underage prostitute.

He returned to lead the French attack under Blanc, scoring three goals as Les Bleus qualified automatically for Euro 2012.

Full Name: Radamel Falcao
Squad No: 9
Position: Forward
Age: 27
Birth Date: Feb 10, 1986
Birth Place: Santa Marta, Colombia
Height: 5' 10'' (1.78m)
Weight: 72 kg



After a blistering 2010-11 season, which saw his remarkable tally of 17 goals in 14 Europa League
games break Jurgen Klinsmann's European scoring record (15) and fire Porto to glory in the
competition, Falcao has established himself as one of the most fearsome and coveted strikers in
world football.

Moving from his native Colombia to River Plate as a 14-year-old, Falcao was relentless in his
desire to become a professional footballer and his battling spirit - coupled with netting two
goals on his debut - quickly won over the Argentinean fans, who nicknamed him El Tigre - The
Tiger.

A serious knee injury in 2006 threatened to hamper his development but after a tough 12 months,
he returned to form and was River's top scorer as they sealed the 2008 Clausura title. The
talented Colombian's performances had not gone unnoticed, however, and Porto snapped him up in
2009 to replace outgoing star Lisandro Lopez.

His impact was immediate, as he fast became one of Portuguese football's most prolific strikers,
netting 34 goals in all competitions and claiming the winner as Porto won the domestic Cup.
Falcao's form continued to improve over the next few years and he alerted some of the continent's
biggest clubs - although a fee of €60 million was quoted for his services.



Strengths:
He can use both feet and is imperious in the air despite only being 5' 10''; he also boasts pace,
technique and an unerring coolness in front of goal that has seen comparisons drawn with the
Brazilian Ronaldo.

Weaknesses:
Has been known to suffer crises of confidence and former Porto boss Andre Villa-Boas described
him as a "frustrated" figure when he suffered a barren run at the start of 2010-11. Has struggled
to transfer club scoring form onto the international stage.

Career high:
His winning goal in the Europa League final secured Porto's third major trophy of the season and
cemented his record of scoring the most European goals in a single season.

Career low:
A serious knee injury in 2006 kept him out of action and came just as he had appeared to have
established himself as a regular for River Plate.

Style:
Agile, strong, powerful, a natural finisher.

Quotes:
"I'd like to play with him. Falcao is a great player and is at a very high level. He has won
everything in a season in which he scored many goals. He is, today, the great reference of
Colombian football." Lionel Messi, June 2011.

Trivia:
He is named after former Brazil midfielder Falcao, who starred for the Selecao at the 1982 World
Cup campaign - when Tele Santana's side became arguably the best ever not to win the tournament.
