Player profile
Capdevila had an indifferent season for Villarreal but remains a solid, if unspectacular, presence at left-back for Spain, who was impressive at the Confederations Cup in South Africa last summer with his overlapping runs and pin-point crossing.
Overlooked for the 2006 World Cup, the former Espanyol youth product only became an international regular as he approached his 30th birthday, leading up to Euro 2008.
Capdevila had a spell with Atletico Madrid in 1999 before leaving to join Deportivo la Coruna, with whom he won the Spanish Cup and two Spanish Super Cups. He moved on to Villarreal in 2007 and only missed one league game in 2009/10.
