The Chelsea star retired from international football after France's dismal Euro 2004 campaign, but changed his mind and is once again an integral part of his country's side. Surprisingly allowed to leave Real Madrid in September 2003 in a £16.6million deal, the destructive midfielder has helped to inspire Chelsea, and it is no coincidence that Real's fortunes have dipped while the west London outfit's have improved. He made his name at Nantes and also starred for Marseille and Celta Vigo before joining Real Madrid six years ago. He made his international debut 11 years ago in a goalless draw against Norway.
