Liverpool

Playmaker Gerardo Bruna arrived from Real Madrid in the summer of 2007.
The attacking midfielder spent five years at the Bernabeu before deciding his career would be better served at Anfield. "My father agreed with me that moving here would be a great opportunity," he said. "I already knew about Liverpool from the Champions League: the final we won and the final we lost. "These games, as well as the Chelsea semi-finals, made a big impression on me."
Bruna, a left-footer with a talent for set pieces, was learning his trade with the reserves, who he helped to league glory in 2007-08. Despite making a name for himself over several years in Spain, he was born in Argentina and has represented both countries at youth level.
