Del Piero took the lead since the poll opening (on 15th May last) and, even though his first position has been seriously threatened by Roberto Carlos, he has remained steadily the leader till the end of the poll showing that he is the football fans' favourite, and not only in Italy. The "Bianconeri" number 10, who won the 2006 World Cup with the Italian national selection, got 30,199 votes, Roberto Carlos, the Brazilian player of Fenerbah￧e SK, who, thanks to his Turkish fans' votes struggled with Del Piero for victory till the end and almost got it through an exceptional comeback, finished second (with 29,174 votes). Quite unexpectedly David Beckham finished third (with 24,121 votes), he, thanks to the votes of his American fans, could surpass AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini (with 20,700 votes).

I'm proud to be in a list with champions like Maradona, Platini and Zico, who left their footprint on the Champions Promenade here in Monte-Carlo. For a football player is massive to remain in people's mind for what he does scoring or winning".
