He was a total professional in his tenure, and his energy was relentless on both sides of the pitch. He dribbled, scored, and track backed with great intensity. He was another great pickup by mourinho, that helped form the great Spanish onslaught of costa,fabregas, Alonso and Pedro.

He will be added to Chelsea’s legacy of strong wingers : Malouda, willian, Robben, hazard, etc

Farewell to the gladiator Spaniard!
