David Sergio Trezeguet French footballer

David Sergio Trezeguet (French pronunciation: [david sɛʁʒjo tʁezeˈɡɛ]; born 15 October 1977 in Rouen) is a World Cup winning French football striker, who plays for Juventus in the Italian Serie A.

Of Argentine descent, Trezeguet played for the French national team, the country of his birth.

Club career

At club level, Trezeguet has played for Club Atlético Platense in Argentina (1994), AS Monaco in France (1995–2000), and Juventus in Italy (since 2000). On 16 September 2006, before Juventus' league match against Vicenza, Trezeguet was awarded a commemorative plate in recognition of his 125 career goals.

After the match, his tally came to 128 goals, making him the highest scoring foreigner in Juventus history. He is currently the fifth highest scorer for Juventus, with 161 goals as of 1 March 2008, six goals behind Omar Sivori.

Trezeguet scored his 168th goal for the Bianconeri in the 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich, making him the club's highest ever foreign goalscorer, surpassing Omar Sivori.

In 1997, Trezeguet scored the fastest goal ever in terms of velocity in UEFA Champions League history in a quarter-final match against Manchester United. The shot that resulted in a goal was clocked at 97.76 mp/h (157.33 km/h). He also scored the 30000th goal in UEFA Champions League history by netting against Olympiacos in 2004. In the 2003 UEFA Champions League Final, Trezeguet was one of the three Juventus players to have their penalty saved by AC Milan keeper Dida in penalties.

Trezeguet caused controversy in Juventus' final match of the 2006–07 season against Spezia by making a gesture towards the club president, making a number 15 with his fingers – the number of goals he scored throughout the Serie B season – and then a gesture which, in Italian, means "I'm out of here."^{[citation needed]} However, Juventus announced on 25 June 2007, that Trezeguet had renewed his contract until 2011. During the 2007–08 season, Trezeguet scored 20 goals in the league, including two hat-tricks, second only to teammate Alessandro Del Piero for Serie A scoring honors.

In the Serie A 2008-09 season, Trezeguet sustained an injury in the groin that kept out for most of the season. He finally made his return on 4 February against Napoli and had a goal controversially disallowed. Nevertheless, he was one of the players who scored in the penalty shootout, which was won by Juventus 4–3. Trezeguet would shortly get his first goal of 2009 in the 2–0 win at Palermo in late February, in which he received the captaincy for the first time in his professional career. 'Trezegol' equaled Sivori’s record of 167 goals for the Turin club last month during a 5-2 win over Atalanta
