The former midfielder is considered the best Romanian footballer of all time, thanks to his excellent kicking technique he earned the nickname Maradona from the Carpathians. During his playing career, Hagi wore the jerseys of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Galatasaraye, with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 2000. He ended his career in 2001.
