Rui Costa was a fantastic player!

Beautifull to Watch.

Destroyed them in 2000, killed their hopes of qualification in 2004. A majestic player.

Pure clas!

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

If you saw a performance like this from a player today in a NT, everyone would be raving about it.

[@alitmahendra891]

he doesnt score a goal, so people will call him a flop anyway

[@soulsmischief2626]

when he had a good day, rui costa was the best midfielder in the world. had a been a little more consistent, he would be in the goat discussion about midfielders

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

he was never best midfielder in the world

Yes he was... Unless you are a millenial wich sound its the case...

The English want to praise Paul Scholes who couldn’t get near Rui & past him on three four occasions in that little clip Rui Costa Portugal 🇵🇹 greatest #10 simple 🙌

[@edmondsimon9220]

Scholes is strong but inferior to rui Costa technically and vision

[@rogeriofernandes772]

Que saudades, como Portugal precisava nos dias de hoje de um 10 assim, que saudades de ver Portugal jogar há bola sem complexos e sempre a dominar os adversários. Portugal era uma orquestra Rui Costa o Maestro.

[@laluurfam8862]

He was my role model for playing football in Elementary School. Every Milan Jersey I have always I customed with his name. Il Maestro

[@darthgibsonlp6631]

A mesmerising player on his day. Supremely gifted. Should have achieved more with that ability.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

This Portuguese squad played so well, Rui Costa, Luís Figo, João Pinto, Sá Pinto, Nuno Gomes... They had that same flair Barcelona had in their best years, most players were very similar, knew how to play with the ball, made good passes, great runs. With a bit more experience they would reach finals and win cups more often for sure. The rest was all there, talent and how they could cover most positions instead of the current way of playing which is flanking, flanking, flanking without any midfield game.

[@lordmarshall642]

It wasn't about experience. It was about some of the guys in the back.

[@h4rder10]

what confidence he has when he is on the ball. sick level ball control.

[@aldairramirez4058]

What a performance! Cátedra del maestro.

[@RedEagle04]

Maestro 10 Rui Costa 🇵🇹 Fantástico

[@scholesleeds1026]

I knew Milan was going to rule European football for the coming decade when Ancelotti brought him together with Pirlo in a team. It is amazing how Ancelotti merged the two midfield masters in the same squad without any conflicts at all. The result is sea amount of assistance to the legendary forwards - Inazaghi and Shevchenko.

[@ivobatista4018]

It did help Milan dominate but for him individually, I think a move to England or Spain would of been best at the end of the 90s. Can only imagine the player he would of been in the Prem with a team like United instead of Verón

[@luislizard2626]

Majestic What a football brain

[@DavidSilva-go1qv]

O maestro o melhor médio da história do futebol português

[@michapd28]

Gênio de bola

[@miguelrosado6348]

Rui Costa's vision and passing skills were anchored on his ability to play without looking at the ball at his feet so he could read the game and watch players' movements all the time.

[@shampar10]

One of his best games for Portugal

[@the1greko]

Actual President of my team: S.L.Benfica. A good man with honour and passion for football, as well supporting the best part of sport in general

[@frasar9193]

This team, coached by Humberto Coelho was the Best portugal side i've ever seen play.

[@lordmarshall642]

Jogavam bem do meio campo para a frente. Mas a de 2004 a 2006 jogava muita mas muita bola.

[@vnvexere1344]

2 assists to goals. genius.

[@josesilva4171]

This was a game in which Portuguese superiority was so convincing that even with 2 nil down I knew Portugal was going to win. Rui Costa, Figo and Joao Vieira Pinto were on fire.

Rui Costa: Better than Zidane

[@figo7ronaldo]

If Portugal had a guy like Henry during the 90s and early/mid 2000s, we could have had a strong chance to win World Cup and Euro. Rui Costa and Figo had no one to pass to. Nuno Gomes and Pauleta were good, but were not elite level to complement our strong midfield

[@besimsala20]

Portugal was also robbed because they were a small country.

[@PaulWynne-ns3ye]

Great player. This commentary seems to be bogus.

[@virtualsnake1994]

they beat us a couple of years ago in a friendly.

[@lordmarshall642]

Always a fun game to watch

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

Last time was precisely 25 years ago I believe. in 1998. Competitively i mean. Or maybe there was a more recent Nations League match, I don't remember.

[@somlimbu1414]

Rui was as good as Zizu in terms of football skill but Zizu edges on Trophies....

[@lessavini]

Zizu was more goalscorer and decisive. Rui Costa was more of a playmaker and facilitator. Both great in their own ways.

[@hendipray1016]

Rui was better playmaker than Zizou.. His vision & killer pass were unreal.. He’s not only as decisive & goalscorer like zizou.. But Rui was one technically gifted & genius.. Also his trademark gliding dribble were joy to watched..
