Juan Román Riquelme was a phenomenal talent that helped put Villarreal on the footballing map.

When Celtic were drawn against Villarreal in the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup in April 2004, Riquelme would put in a masterful performance at Celtic Park that would highlight how fantastic a player he truly was.

This podcast relives that night with contributions from Chris Sermanni and Graeme McKay, who were both in attendance.

We also hear from Argentinian football journalist Roy Nemer as he helps to profile this truly gifted footballer.
