Marco van Basten

Marco van Basten is a former Dutch striker known for his elegance of movement and variety of finishing techniques. He shone at Ajax and AC Milan, winning the Ballon d'Or three times. With the Netherlands, he won the 1988 European Championship, scoring a spectacular goal in the final from a very difficult angle. He could score with first-time shots, headers and acrobatic finishes, and his technique helped him solve complicated situations in the opposing box.
