DEFESA CENTRAL
Carlos Marchena spent the majority of his career with Valencia, where he won five major trophies, including two league titles.
Fiercely aggressive, Marchena was sent off a total of 13 times, but was also one of the best and most consistent centre-backs in Spanish football. pic.twitter.com/NjB0rkZhAA

Carlos Marchena – Ao lado de Ayala, o defesa espanhol – que passou pelo SL Benfica – formou uma dupla defensiva brilhante, tendo um papel de grande relevo na ‘dobradinha’ de 2004, com a conquista do campeonato e da Taça Uefa. Imponente, robusto e com grande leitura de jogo, Marchena atuou durante nove temporadas no Mestalla, acumulando mais de 300 aparições pelo clube.
