In fact any football player in the world would love to play for the Spanish giants Barcelona or Real Madrid with their enviable records in European Cups; even Beckham, Lineker and Owen played out there and picked up some Spanish language skills!

David Beckham Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal is the No.1 Tennis player in the world with a mightily impressive winning streak that includes several Grand Slam titles and an Olympic Gold.

Of course we can't talk about Spanish champions without mentioning the controversial former Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, whose rivalry with Lewis Hamilton is set to last for a few years yet.
