Lionel Messi made history by wearing no.10 for Barcelona, while Cristiano Ronaldo is often referred to by his legion fans as ‘CR7’ – wearing the number for Manchester United, Real Madrid and now Juventus. Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, became a Liverpool icon in the no.8 jersey during a glittering career that made him win the Champions League in 2005 among his many other honours. Another big change before the start of the season was Mesut Ozil being given Arsenal’s iconic no.10 following Jack Wilshere’s exit. This has been worn by Dennis Bergkamp, meaning Ozil will have big shoes to fill after a rather mixed Gunners career to date.
