A goalscoring staple of Italian football’s iconic ‘90s period, Gabriel Batistuta was at one point the single greatest striker on the planet.

With a unique mixture of clever movement, deceptive pace, high work rate, and clinical, unstoppable finishing, Batigol was a constant thorn in the side of so many defences. Famed for his spells at Fiorentina and Roma, the Argentinian frontman was the stuff of nightmares for those unfortunate enough to come up against him.

By the time all was said and done, Batistuta finished his club career with a record of 245 goals in just 430 games. For his beloved Argentina, El Ángel Gabriel netted a further 54 times in only 74 international appearances.

Throughout his career, Gabriel Batistuta was an absolute joy to watch. Likewise, FIFA players would love to take Batigol out for a spin on Ultimate Team when FIFA 20 rolls around. Simply put, this is one of those strikers who could transform a team from Division 4 also-rans to Division 1 hopefuls.
