Luis Suárez Miramontes was the finest Spanish footballer of his era and remains the only player born in Spain to win the Ballon d’Or. A midfield conductor of extraordinary vision, he made his name at Barcelona before starring at Internazionale.
At Inter he was the brain of the Grande Inter side that dominated Europe, his passing dictating the rhythm of the team. Intelligent and technically superb, he bridged defence and attack with rare elegance.
A key figure in Spain’s European Championship success, he is regarded as one of the great playmakers in the history of the game.
