Diego Godin is an Uruguayan footballer who captains both Spanish club Atlético Madrid and the Uruguay national team as a central defender. He is widely considered one of the best central defenders in the world.

Born in Rosario, Godin started his professional career with C.A. Cerro at the age of 17. After his good performances, he was transferred to Primera División powerhouse Club Nacional de Football, where he quickly became captain due to his maturity and professionalism. 

In August 2007, Godin signed a five-year deal with La Liga side Villarreal CF. He consolidated his starting position in the subsequent seasons, mostly partnering Argentine Gonzalo Rodríguez in the heart of the back four. On 4 August 2010, after experiencing his best season at Villarreal, Godin joined Atletico Madrid where he has won seven major titles with the latter, including the La Liga title in the 2013–14 season. He helped Atletico to reach Champions League final twice but ended up the loss to Real Madrid.

At the international level, Godin appeared for his country at three World Cups and four Copa América tournaments, winning the 2011 edition of the latter competition.

Here are some fantastic moments of Godin:
