Mino Raiola, the super agent
Agents - whether representing players directly or, more often, acting as intermediaries - have become a staple of the game over the past thirty years. But nobody was a protagonist over three decades the way Raiola was. Odds are, as football agencies merge with each other and consolidate, the Raiola prototype - a dealmaker with a phone, plenty of chutzpah and no fear - will disappear and we won't see another like him.

Except, even without Mbappe, you suspect this won't be their last -- not when there's a guy like Ancelotti, one of the few men who can pull off the cardigan-cigar-shades combination and lead a team in transition to a league and cup double. Not with young guns - Vinicius, Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo - already with the "big one" under their belt.
