James Tarkowski (Everton) adidas Predator Elite FT
Hang it in the Louvre. Take a bow James Tarkowski. Making history in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park before the side move to their new stadium next season. If you live under a rock and didn't see what happened in this game, Tarkowski scored a stunning last minute volley to equalise against Liverpool. Finished off with three red cards after the final whistle – Football heritage.
Chimy Ávila (Real Betis) Custom Nike Mercurial Vapor XV

Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen ) adidas Predator Mania Made In Germany
Although the midfield icon has retired, he still has so much class on the pitch. The Bayer Leverkusen opts for the classic Predator Mania's Made In Germany edition, remakes of the boots he once wore as a player. What a player he was.
