years of success with both Barcelona and the Spanish national team . Arguably his finest moment came when he scored the winning goal against the Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final , truly announcing himself on the world stage . After coming up through Barcelona ’ s
famous La Masia youth system , there is no suggestion that he would ever be sold by the club with which he has spent his whole career , but his market value is said to be around £ 61million taking into account his ability , influence and marketability . He currently has a salary of over £ 4million a year , plus extra money from sponsorship deals with the likes of Kalise , an ice cream manufacturer .
