David Villa Sánchez (Spanish pronunciation: [daˈβið ˈbiʎa santʃeθ] ; born 3 December 1981) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker. Villa is regarded by pundits as one of the best forwards of his generation, and one of, if not the best Spanish striker of all time.
After Zaragoza’s triumph in the Copa del Rey, they were granted a place in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup; this was Villa’s first time playing in a European competition. In the team’s opening group game, against Utrecht, Villa netted a brace in the dying minutes of the game, which ended 2–0 in Zaragoza’s favour. In the round of 16, Zaragoza faced Austria Wien. The first leg ended 1–1, while Villa scored in the second leg in an eventual 2–2 draw; Austria Wien progressed on the away goals rule. Meanwhile, in La Liga, Villa excited Zaragoza fans on 23 September 2004 by putting the team 1–0 up against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, although Barcelona came back to win the game 4–1. On 17 April 2005, Villa scored a brace which helped see off Sevilla in a 3–0 victory.
Zaragoza reached the 2004 Copa del Rey final where he played a big part in the team’s victory, scoring a crucial goal to put the Aragonese outfit 2–1 up against Real Madrid in a match which eventually ended 3–2. Soon after, he earned his first international call-up and cap, which resulted in Zaragoza fans becoming so proud of his achievements that they invented the football chant “illa illa illa, Villa maravilla”, a play on the words “Villa” and “maravilla”, the latter which translates to “marvel” but can also mean “wonderful” or “great” in that context.
