After yesterday's Federico Valverde show in the Champions League round of 16 match against Manchester City (3:0), sports portals around the world were abuzz.

Most European websites not only praised the Uruguayan who scored the hat trick but also noted that he received a very rare ten from the publication L'Equipe.

At the same time, the all-time L'Equipe unfortunate Wendell was also remembered online.

In 2008, the Brazilian midfielder, while representing Bordeaux, played a tragic match against Grenoble and was the only player in the entire evaluation history to receive a zero.

Wendell played in France until mid-2011 and then wandered through various teams in Saudi Arabia and Brazil.

Now, according to the press, the 42-year-old man works as a youth coach at Cruzeiro.
