Alfredo Di Stefano is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time and is particularly known for his success with Real Madrid during the 1950s and 1960s. Di Stefano was born in Argentina in 1926 and began his football career with River Plate in 1945. He later played for several other Argentinian clubs before moving to Colombia to play for Millonarios in 1949.

Di Stefano's success with Millonarios attracted the attention of Real Madrid, who signed him in 1953. He quickly became a star for the club, helping them win five consecutive European Cups from 1956 to 1960. Di Stefano's versatility as a player was a key factor in his success, as he was able to play in multiple positions, including as a striker, midfielder, and defender.

In addition to his success with Real Madrid, Di Stefano also had a successful international career, playing for both the Argentina and Spain national teams. He scored 23 goals in 31 appearances for Argentina, but he is perhaps best known for his contributions to the Spanish national team, which he represented on 31 occasions, scoring 23 goals.

Di Stefano retired as a player in 1966 and went on to have a successful career as a manager, coaching several clubs in Spain and Argentina. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 88, but his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time continues to live on.
