Gonzalo Higuain is well-known for his goal-scoring skills, but his positioning and off-the-ball movement for a pass are exceptional. He also has exceptional speed, and his ambidexterity with both feet makes him a valuable asset because he can finish with both feet with ease. Although he is not tall at 5'7" (1.70 m), Higuain packs a powerful shot and is efficient in front of the net. Higuain started his career at River Plate, where he played from 2004 to 2010. During this time, he made a name for himself by scoring frequently, earning him the nickname "El Geño" ("The Kid"). In 2009, he was nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year award. After playing for Juventus for four years, he moved to Real Madrid in 2012. There, he won the UEFA Champions League in 2013 and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2015. In 2016, he signed with Napoli and helped them win the Coppa Italia. In addition to his club accomplishments, Higuain has been selected for Argentina on several occasions. From 2005 to 2007, he played in three FIFA World Cups, helping his country reach the quarterfinals in both its appearances. He also played at the 2008 Olympics and the 2011 Copa America. Higuain's wife is an Argentine model and actress named Luciana Aymar.
