Higuaín… Those Were The Days

here was a time when Gonzalo Higuaín was one of the deadliest strikers in world football.


Whether with Real Madrid CF, SSC Napoli, or Juventus FC, “Pipita” was a goal machine capable of destroying defenses with intelligent movement, clinical finishing, and perfect positioning inside the box.

In his prime, Higuaín was unstoppable.

His legendary 2015–16 season with Napoli remains one of the greatest individual Serie A campaigns ever, scoring 36 league goals and breaking a historic record that stood for decades.

But football fans also remember the painful moments.

The missed chances in major finals with Argentina became part of his story, overshadowing years of brilliance at club level. Still, many fans today look back and realize just how underrated Higuaín truly was.

This cartoon animation captures that nostalgic feeling.

Higuaín stands in front of a mirror, looking at himself today… before remembering the glory days:
the celebrations at Real Madrid, the magic nights in Naples, and the trophies with Juventus.

A reminder that football changes, players grow older, but memories never disappear.

Marco Materazzi

Marco Materazzi cartoon

Marco Materazzi is a former professional football player from Italy who is perhaps best known for his controversial clash with French football legend Zinedine Zidane during the 2006 FIFA World Cup final.

Materazzi was born on August 19, 1973, in Lecce, Italy, and began his professional football career with his hometown club, Lecce, in 1991. He went on to play for several other Italian clubs, including Perugia and Inter Milan over the course of his career, as well as for the Italian national team.

Materazzi was known for his tough and physical style of play, as well as his ability to score goals from set pieces. He was also known for his controversial behavior on the pitch, including his habit of provoking opponents with verbal taunts.

Despite the controversy surrounding the incident with Zidane, Italy went on to win the World Cup, with Materazzi playing a key role in the team's success. He retired from professional football in 2014, having won numerous domestic and international titles throughout his career, most importantly the Treble with Inter Milan in 2010.

My friend Waheed Almasri met him in Dubai and offered him my cartoon.
