How good was David Villa actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most controversial and naturally talented players we've seen over the 2000's in football. In this episode we take on David Villa who played for Barcelona, Valencia and Atletico de Madrid for most of his career.
David Villa was the final puzzle Spain needed to win trophies. A dependable goal scorer even in crunch situations which Spain are lacking now. Villa played mostly as a second striker and scored more than 400 goals in his career. Exquisite and eye catching footballer as well as being ambidextrous. Rare for a footballer. Legend of Spanish football
villa would do well at city
Ambipedal
Villa is such an excellent scorer. Too accurate on the shot, never showing off, always humble. Without him truly the Spanish national team would be missing a "9", a serious scorer, a real GEM.

Villa didn’t just assist players, he also assisted his clubs financially
One of the Deadliest Finishers of the 21st Century…not sure why he doesn’t get the recognition as Torres, Eto’o etc..
I think because Eto won the ucl 2 times and he was africas best player compared to villa another European sensation and Torres because he played in the prem and back then the premier league had more recognition even though laliga was Arguably a better league
nab bro david villa dominated the 2010 world cup wdym he didnt get recognition like torres mans is better than torres
May be because he had a short career in an elite club compared to those two
Hes way better than torres honestly torres doesnt deserve to be mentioned next to villa hes so overrated
In Spain everybody knows Villa was better than Torres but because he never played in Premier League people underrate him
One of the greatest No.9s of all time. It’s such a shame he doesn’t get talked about enough..he was literally the best No.9 in world football from 2008-2010. Not to forget man was a style icon as well..we all tried his soul patch and hairstyles back in the days :p
He was unstoppable while he was at his peak
Great comment, he was one of my absolute favorites and I was pissed Arsenal missed out on him..twice! He even said right before he went to Atletico he thought it was a done deal. Wenger fucked up big on missing him. Btw I def copied his hair style a few times lol
No quite one of the greatest of all time but definitely top20-30
@@smugbum great analysis
@@smugbum Torres can't bench Villa when Villa was and would forever be better than him, Villa was injured after the second game in Euro 2008, he wasn't bench get ur facts right. How can you bench a player who scored a hat trick in his opening match, scored again in the next game and assisted in the same game. Torres was only lucky to start over Villa because he was injured.
His killer blow goal against United in the CL final is still burned into my memory. Electrifying finisher and I'm hearing people comparing Ferran to him, but man there will never be another David Villa.
Damnn atleast a random prem fan respected Villa
I thought I was the only one that felt dat way.
Always hard to explain how great dat goal was to other people I'll always have to show them the video 📹
he’s said to be his regen and nothing else
That final was done already, Rooney goal have false hope but United never had any chance.
God bless David villa and his family. Great to see humble and hard working people succeeding in life.
What a dad and what a lad. In Spain we do remember him still, don't worry. He played a big part in both the golden era of the national team and of Barça.
I wish I had a dad like that
When me nd my dad used to watch prime Barca days villa always used to stand out to me.. was so happy he won a World Cup w Spain as well
The name “Maravilla” has stuck with me since I first heard it during the 2010 World Cup. When he finally made his move to NYC, I couldn’t miss the first home match with him. I remember coming in a few minutes after the match started and as I was walking up the steps, once I got to the top, I witnessed him score nyc’s first home goal. One of my favorite moments ever and Forever a legend.
He was given that name by the Zaragoza supporters. Props to them.
The best part is when at yankee stadium the announcer would say “daviiiid” and everyone screams VILLAAAAAA
Villa is the reason why I started watching football. His hattrick against Russia and final moment winning goal against Sweden in euro 2008 made me fall in love with spanish team.
And damn he had the best celebrations after scoring goals, it was pure happiness and passion for the game as if he had just scored the first goal of his career. Like even watching him celebrating would make u feel genuinely happy from inside,.no arrogance, just pure joy!
ikr 😂 he scores like every goal is a championship winner. pure happiness and passion
Forlan and Villa are the 2 most underrated strikers of the 21st Century: two-footed, lethal, prolific and winners
Also Tevez.
Forlan ❣
Aguero also.. make it three..
@@crossimpactgaming9200 Aguero is not underrated.
@@koolankush6300 nah he is being underated.. he rarely been use on Argentina squad for 90 minutes, always come as subs.. He is consider legend in Man City but get cool treatment..
Despite being a United fan, David Villa is one of my all time favourite players. Something about him really did capture my attention when I was a kid. Even then I knew he was a special, technical player. Everyone in the playground was screaming "Torres" or "Drogba" then there was me shouting "David Villa" whenever I scored. That UCL goal against us was heartbreaking for me but I knew it was something special.
Im spanish and a valencia cf fan. This comment made me smile so much, i also did the villa screaming after scoring when i was a kid haha
Same. I didd my Erasmus in Salamanca when he was playing for Zaragoza. There was one goal he scored that I never forgot.
Your like me then loved villa in barca
I can never forget David Villa.. He was special Part of World cup 2010 .. Injury did him injustice..
This guy was the reason I feel in love with football. The 2008 Euros and the 2010 World Cup. Not a spaniard but man was he an amazing player. Saddend that the injuries curtailed his career, Barça would have one another treble in 2011-12 had he been playing.
I can't imagine how proud his father was seeing his son go all the way.
Must have felt amazing
I'm a real Madrid fan but I own spain jerseys with his name imprinted on them. Such a great player 👏 never forgotten
Another player that people forget is Fernando Morientes he was amazing as well
True, gotta do a Morientes video
As a Barca fan I could only watch this with tears in my eyes, goosebumps on my skin and a hell lot of pride in my heart!! Forever a Barca legend!! Long live Villa!!
Facts always though he was good af
a barca legend which got throwed away by the club bcs of midget -_-
Being spanish and having grown my childhood watching the era of 2008-2012 tournaments, what Villa brought to kids like me back then is inexplicable, what an amazing player, Spain will never have a striker like him. What Villa did for Spain in 2010 is still in everyones hearts, you will never be forgotten legend of our history. I will tell my kids stories about the gold era of football and I will start with Villa not Ronaldo or Messi.
Living in the US , I noticed him Euro 2008 and then in 2010. I've already had to buy a 2nd Spanish jersey of his. When he came to NYCFC, I couldn't believe my luck that I would finally be able to see him play in person. Of course, those tickets were the most expensive of the whole MLS season and always sold out. I could never afford tickets. He is still my favorite Spanish player and soon on my 3rd jersey.
Your kids will already know messi and Ronaldo
they'll probably know villa too@@legendhomies47
He is the most underrated forward of all time. What a player 💥
I remember being infinitely frustrated by Villa being benched at Barcelona (as well as Tello) while Alexis Sanchez and Pedro were given every opportunity and they failed to use most of them. Villa remains my favourite player despite only being able to see him as a Barca fan for less than a season
Villa was a goal machine back in the day. So underrated. I'm sure he was, maybe still is Spains National teams top goal scorer.? I've not Googled him, but I can't think off anyone else who could've scored more. At Barca, him and Messi were as dangerous as MNS- Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
Yep I think with more than 50 goals
Messi villa nd Pedro
United fan here, his goal in the 2011 UCL final is splendid!
@@iganpparamarta8813 tha was 3-1 game ?
@@Ghost-xd5hn yes. I believe it was a pass from Messi after dribbling past United’s left flank. Never felt satisfied for a loss before haha
Indeed good friends,that Spanish legendary player David Villa boss was one of the most underrated strikers in this world and other players but he was one of my favourite respective players who worked extremely so hard to achieve his success,thanks to his father's hardwork at his working place and his mother's encouragement despite having her sadness towards his health!!!For me,he is a living legendary striker in the sport whom I hope to see being a manager in years to come!!!LONG LIVE,DAVID VILLA BOSS!!!🏋️♂️
Even as a Madrid fan, I can admit this man was MONSTER one of my favorite strikers ever
you’re a true lad my friend
Spain scored 8 goals in the world cup they won in 2010 and this guy scored 5 of them , but as a lot of other players' career injuries ruined him
Even if he was injured on his last season at barca..he went on to win La Liga with ATM at the next season...which kinda dumb for Barca to sell a good player to THEIR RIVAL.
@@power279 haha same thing happened with Luis Suarez
Lol, I didnt expected Spain scored this few in the WC.
@@uruacufutsal1 I mean a world cup winner plays only 7 matches so what you expected? 25 goals??
@@power279 the enemy of my enemy is my friend
I never forget him. What a player he was! My favorite striker.. if player EVER! So underrated! Villa MARAVILLA!
I think for those that watched him he was very highly rated. One of the best strikers in his prime. I really enjoy his game
I’m from Panama & obviously I grew up watching la liga it was a big boom back then thanks to ronaldinho but when I saw Villa with Zaragoza that was something else… who would’ve thought that he would become the key in the 2010 World Cup? GREAT PLAYER . Respect ✊🏾 for him
LW, Right footed, 5* WF, Shot power was a cannon.
There was absolutely nothing I could not score with this man in my Ultimate team
Remember the days mate, fifa 13 he was class
@@skendae2003 Exactly!
Game generation
Damn I remember him being my star boy in FIFA 10, 11 and 12.
The fact that it was with him that Spain won everything, even though they had had Torres for years before him, speaks to his impact. Valencia with Villa in it was one of the dark horses of la liga those days. They were world class with him, and just a top 10 club without him.
This is why we always say Villa was extremely underrated. I'm a Sporting de Gijón fan. I followed Villa's career from his debut in Sporting. He was incredible from day 1, and he had to wait 10 years of incredible performance after incredible performance to have a top club to come looking for him. Every club he has played for remembers him with great love. It's normal that Sporting fans remember him like that, he's one of us, but it also happens with Zaragoza and Valencia fans, and even Barcelona fans. He was incredible and deserved to have been considered a world star many years earlier than he was.
He was so underrated. People never looked up to him, well I did and I can tell you I am grateful to watch this guy play football. I learned some tricks from him
The main reason he was often overlooked was because he not from Catalunya nor Madrid. He is an Asturian. I am very proud of him for having to make it the hard way...by scoring goals people could no longer ignore. Héroe futbolistico! Thank you very much, David!
It has nothing to do with his origin! 😂
@ You'd be shocked how much it does in Spain.
@That's not how it's in Spain.
Catalonia & Madrid get special attention & attraction
I truly believe he epitomises everything Pep wants in a footballer
Villa was my fave on those Barcelona teams.. Just loved 🤩 the way he moved in the final 3rd of the pitch!!!
I have been a huge fan of Villa, since he was at Valenzia. His performance 2008 made me fall in love with the spanish team and I have been a fan of them ever since
One of the most underrated players of all time.
david villa is a great finisher , his accuracy was almost perfect , left foot right foot long range goals curling master he has mastered it all , he was the reason why spain won the WC . messi is my favorite but even before that villa is my favorite still is , he's the reason i started watching football
David Villa was such a cold baller. I always remember him for how cool & collected he was. His goal against Man U in the UCL final was the best of the bunch, probably one of the most memorable goals I’ve seen ever.
David Villa was an absolute phenomenon, I watched him play when I was little and his technique was out of this world! I was so lucky when my family found him when we were on vacation in Barcelona, and I still treasure the photo we took to this day :)
I always liked him as a player. Getting to know his life. Makes me like him as a person as well. It is just what i need to keep me motivated and succeed my goals. Thank you!
He was a beast. This is one player we should never forget about I remember his days in Valencia.
one of my favorites player ever! Love from Portugal
What a great story...I didn't even know.. thanks.. beautiful video..like
It really is
What a career I love you Villa I never knew he was such a good player before joining Barcelona much love 💕😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This guy was an inspiration for me in Childhood🥺 Its sad that he is not getting the recognition he deserves... From becoming an electrician to an electrifying footballer🔥🔥 David Villa🔥 What a legend👑👑
only ppl who didn't watched Barcelona or Spain forgot him, David "El Guaje" Villa was brilliant
When I started playing fifa 21 I thought David villa was going to be jn the game and he wasn’t so I quit playing
This is a beautiful story of what a father's luv and support can do how amazing his belief system paid off not just materially but for the love of the game his faith in him moved mountains.
Villa was phenominal, it's a shame he's not talked about much!! Another great video by the way👏👏.
His life is honestly one hell of an inspiring story, it just sounds like the plot for a heartwarming movie. This video is like the abriged version of that movie, just amazing.
As a Barca fan, I loved Villa. But now I don't just love him, my respect for him is through the roof!
@daily dose of football, I love all your videos. Amazing stuff. Keep up the good work.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. A video of David villa, truly underrated
my favorite player of all time
Hope you enjoy the video!
you are as quick as villa in the comment section
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT I did! thank you
Great player.. exciting to watch... i miss him...
He was phenomenal for every club he played ! Such a boss on the field! Scored some beautiful goals
What a legend he will always be in the hearts of true football fans ❤️forever
David is one of my favorite striker, the day he got injured on international duty. I knew that was the mark that would cause Barca to sell him. His Pace did slow down but he is still class. I wish you and your fam the best. Gracias Villa
You were right!!!! David Villa’s story is great motivation for all fans and players.
What a world class player .David Villa a legend of its own
Thank you so much for this video
Villa is my GOAT
He was the best 9 ever.As simple as that. I remember him scoring every single game forSpain for months and months. Crazy.
David Villa could make goals when most goalscorers would look to pass. He was an artist, a creative crafter, a Houdini. Nobody in the World Cup or many other places could do that. He brought his #1 hit musicianship to outdo Bach and Beethoven. He came through when many were missing Raúl. If he is not remembered properly, it would be a crime.
I'm so glad you made this video!! It's astonishing how much David Villa was slept on. I'm not trying to be that guy, but I remember watching that champions league match between them and Chelsea and Villa and Silva had scored the goals (mightve been over 2 games) and like a classic old school Mourinho side Essien scored in the final minute. But since that moment I knew Villa was brilliant. I watched him at 06 world cup and had followed him since. I was heart broken when Arsenal screwed up not once but twice on him! The second time he said in an interview he thought it was all wrapped up then it just fell thru and he went to Atleti...and we were stuck with Giroud who cost us a title 2 years later lol. Side note I also copied his hair style he was a stud!
A wonderful, wonderful dribbler and finisher of football. He is one the Golden boys of Spanish golden generation and their all time best number 9. Respect David!
I seen him when he came to Houston to play dynamo. His goals and control was incredible
I absolutely love your videos, I've got tears in my eyes , what a story
I remember meeting him in my country and being overcome by emotion, barely able to speak. I was reminding myself of EVERYTHING he’s achieved and how good he was. People forget how amazing he was.
As an American fan of football since a kid back in 2006, David Villa, Kaka, and Luca Toni were the players that I loved watching at the time and played important parts in me loving the game
I wonder how his Barcelona years would've been had he played as a striker, with Messi on the right (the way he played during the MSN era). Would probably have been even more legendary!
David villa is the reason why I like football he's a legend not only that when Spain won the world Cup I backed Spain hard cause of David villa I only found his real name 5 years ago cause I remember players calling him the kid he is an inspiration to me and generations to come thanks legend u r a legend
Aquella generacion de oro de futbolista, no solo maravillo al mundo por su juego, tambien xq coincideron unos jugadores increiblemente humildes y luchadores.
Loved him when i was kid. underrated no.9
I loved David Villa.
That's why I love seeing Ferran Torres at Barca
He seems similar player to him
Ofcourse his finishing could be way better
But profile is similar imo
Yea Ferran is a very intelligent player and he's been coached by 3 masters.
@@vaibhavsridharan9734 pep, xavi, luis
Disrespect to Villa.
I always wondered why Villa played football and celebrated his goals with so much passion. Now I know why. Respect. 💯💛
Villa was amazing in New York City, I feel like I would see him score almost every week those first years!
this channel is one of my faves when it comes to player reviews.
great how they got werner herzog to narrate them.
In the heart of those who really know about football, el GÜAJE stands among the greatest strikers ever played this game ……
I'm a Barcelona fan and gosh! You couldn't help but like the man. Really underrated. His work rate, selflessness and intelligence stood out for me. It seems Bartomeu never learnt after his fiasco with David Villa letting Suarez leave to same direct rival under similar circumstances and suffering the same fate; relinquishing the league title to Athletico.
Thumbs up DDF, you're doing an amazing job man 🎩🎩
I remember that I was confused as heck when Villa left Barcelona. I am a Manchester United and I COULD NOT BELIEVE that we didn't buy him 😅😂
What was incredible was that no top club came signing him 10 years earlier.
@@jal051 yeop 👍🏻
Yes yes yes yes!!!! The most underrated football player ever. Thank you so much for making this video
Great vids, very informative and well put together. I enjoy watching them. Have you ever considered making a video on your own personal football story?
That's so true
My all time favorite player. Such an honor watching him play
Ele foi um craque realmente, juntamente com El Niño e Eto'o, eu tive sorte de os ver a evoluir para o top. Apesar de eu adorar Torres, penso que Villa foi mais marcante, ambos fizeram uma grande carreira, porém Villa foi mais consistente. Por outro lado, Eto'o também foi top top, um dos poucos Africanos que se mantéu no auge por vários anos. Normalmente os jogadores africanos, bem a maioria ao redor do Mundo, jogam no top performance entre 3 à 5 anos no máximo, Eto'o fez muito mais, não é a toa, que ele é respeitado.
Hoje vemos Benzema, Lewa ainda no top mesmo estando velhos, Suarez e Cavani caíram um pouco, normal, não é fácil manter-se mortífero nessa idade, Ibrahimovic, praticamente fora, e infelizmente Agüero abandonou precocemente.
A questão de quem é o melhor, entre El niño e Villa é igual a questão de Eto'o com Drogba😅😂😂
love the content, this brings back high school memories of when i was a bojan krkic fan boy......and all the fifa matches i won just because my forwards were bojan, messi, and david
Honestly, my favorite player of all time and its due to he's ability on and off the ball. Proper team player as well as game changer that actually cares more about the team/club than money, unlike every fkng single modern footballer these days. Looking at chu Neymar, Pogba, Bruno Fernandes.. actually anyone in the Man Utd team lol, anyone the Juventus team, etc.
Man I would have liked the video even if u did not request... Your videos are beautiful... They really bring out the speciality and giftedness of so many great players whom we simply gloss over
the true hero is his father.
I didn't know Villas back story,I am glad I now do....I have to thank him for some memorable footballing moments
David Villa and Rooney, two of the top underrated ever.
In what world was Rooney underrated
@@alxan3942 he was actually very overrated
The most underrated no.9 in the history. One of the greatest 🙌. A legend of my Barcelona.
He was playing as a winger for Barca and Spain to accommodate Messi and Torres but he was still very deadly in front of the goal and he can dribble too. Very underappreciated player of all time and less talented players are getting recognition instead of him better player than zlatan imo
Absolutely one of the greatest!
Villa maravilha!!!
Truth to be told, I first watched him in 2010 world cup since I didn't follow La Liga as much back then. Back then I was just only starting to master football, by the end of World Cup, I mastered basics of football and fell for the game for good because of one player, and yes it was Villa. He is my true inspiration to be a better player although I've never really played well as ST but watching him made me understood that winning is better than just bagging goals. Wins still outweigh skills and dribbling capabilities. Oh yeah, not to mention he inspired me to master my left foot(which I have).
Villa >> Torres
Absolutely not Torres carried Atletico for years and was the best striker in the world for Liverpool, David Villa had Iniesta and Xavi feeding him balls 💀
@@RoninFT9 lol 😂
Great content!
David Villa Zaragoza /Valencia was 🤩
What a player!
In 2010 there were only Spanish players that were in shape, Iniesta and Villa. But that was enough to win the title. These two saved Spain in at least 4 of their games. Excuse me, but the rest played like garbage. And respect to Forlan, but Iniesta and Villa should have been number one and two at this tournament.
Thank you for this video, my favorite player of all time, this gave me goosebumps
Lethal finishing and outrageous goals. One of my favourite strikers growing up
Edit: Clicked the thingie 👍🏽
his last goal for Spain in the World Cup was so cheeky and i will never forget that cuz he cried after scoring it and it was his only appearance in that world cup as a Sub.
guys, just click the thingy.
Miss David Villa. Happy to see this video!! 👍👍👍
