We continue with the challenge of configuring with your help the best football team in history. To do this, we have drawn up a list of legendary players based on the number or main number they have worn throughout their football career.

This time we focus on number 8. In principle, eight was the number of the players who in the midfield occupied the position of a central midfielder or organizing midfielder.
Those football players with good technique and very tactical, who with a lot of dynamics and speed, contributed fluidity in the ball control and game occasions. In the history of football, we have seen very different players with this number, both defensive players and footballers with a lot of creativity and good finishing shots.
