Christian Vieri: Legend?

By: Al | April 30th, 2009

I don’t know too many players that have made it to as many shit lists as Christian Vieri has. Actually, I do, but that’s not the point.

Vieri came to Atlético Madrid from Juventus in 1997 along with Juninho Paulista to cash in on some Champions League success have a crack at La Liga football, and quickly won rojiblanco hearts after a good performance in his debut match (at Real Madrid, which ended 1-1). Bobo scored 24 goals in 24 appearances and was the 1997-98 Pichichi winner. He left for Lazio the following year but many Atlético fans still praise Bobo for his phenomenal season in Madrid.

I could only find two videos of Bobo in action with the rojiblancos, and by no coincidence they are also his most memorable moments at the club.

Bobo’s stunner against PAOK:

Bobo’s four goals against Salamanca, which still ended with a 5-4 loss for us:

GRANDE BOBO!

  supposedly after that Salamanca lose, he didnt bother going to the showers or getting changed. he just got in his car and went home. i would do the exact same thing, knowing i just scored 4 goals and my team STILL LOST lol.
