Inside The Box: Rio Ferdinand and Luís Figo

As a portuguese, I don't think I will ever forget Figo's leadership, I don't remember many moments where he would be angry at teammates whenever we were losing, he would just be quiet, pick up the ball and do something himself for the comeback. I know this is about the Euros but man, I will never forget how we lost in the 2006 WC, I think we played well in the semis but that Henry penalty (dive) still haunts me. I honestly believe we could have beaten Italy in the end, oh well...

Best era of football hands down. World class players all over multiple international teams. Players that actually deserve the world class title

One of the best wingers to ever play the game 👌🏻

Figo becoming a superstar inspired the next generation to become great

Figo was different level

Figo was different. Gosh, that 2000's team had character.

Excellent footballer sorry to see you lose to my country Greece but was glad you guys won later.

Figo is one of the best wingers ever

As a proud portuguese, it is an absolute honor to have a genius like Figo, wonderful player

I like Luis Figo so much. I remember I bought his jersey on holidays in Spain as a child. What is amazingly ironic is that it was Real Madrid jersey and I bought it few kilometres from Barcelona and proudly displaying it there not even knowing what the rivalry really meant :D thank god I was a kid that probably saved my ass :D

What an idol and role model for our younger generations then.. A general on the pitch, who could do everything, he was efficient, silent, composed, slick, tough and like a father or big brother figure for his teammates and he helped take the Portuguese team to great accomplishments. Portugal really looked like the Brazil of Europe at that time, "exotic", oozing with talent, flair, attractive style of play and Luis I believe held that all in balance. Great work on taking us back to those beautiful carefree afternoons of those summers. Well done on having an iconic career, Luis.. Greetings from Greece.. ; )

People seem to forget like Figo stated, Portugal did not qualify regularly to Euros and World Cup. Now it feels like it’s a standard.

An era when footballers were actually proper technical footballers…characters and personalities…today all you have are athletic specimens and social media ‘stars’

The man who makes me play football I love this guy Figo

One of the best winger in the football history

As a portuguese man myself, he's my favourite player that's ever lived and the best captain portugal has ever had, his shirt is framed in my house

Figo, Ronaldo, Deco, Nuno Gomes, Ricardo Carvalho, Rui Costa...What a squad! Losing that Euro at home was just inexplicable

Bracka boo Luis figo, what an absolute baller. Arguably the greatest winger of time

Luis Figo is pragmatic person, he is defiantly a legend, no dough's about that, Rui Costa was the maestro, an huge agglomeration of talent and creativity, love for the gentleman from Portugal, Rio Ferdinand.🤗🤗

Thank you for bringing the Portuguese stars man. Amazing stories and amazing players 🙏♥️
