David Trezeguet's game may not be as aesthetically pleasing as Thierry Henry's, but his international goals-per-game ratio underlines why he too is regarded as one of Europe's leading strikers.

At the end of World Cup qualifying, Henry and Trezeguet were locked together in second place in the all-time France goalscoring standings on 31 but while the former had taken 75 games to reach that tally, 'Trezegol' had taken just 60.

Netting the Golden Goal winner for France at Euro 2000 raised his reputation to that of a world star and he has since been pivotal in Juventus' dominance of Serie A.

Born in Rouen, he later grew up in Argentina before signing up with Monaco as a 17-year-old and building a formidable, if inexperienced, partnership with Henry.

It was here that Michel Platini compared his talents to that of Italy's Paolo Rossi, but Trezeguet's blistering pace and finishing ability quickly saw his star rise of his own volition.

He soon forced his way into the French Under-18 side before suffering the heartache of sitting on the sidelines for the 1998 World Cup final after playing in every game.

Leaving the French Riviera for Turin as a replacement for Henry, it took Trezeguet a little time to settle in Italy, but he has since established himself as hero.

Since being reunited at international level, Henry and Trezeguet's pace and skill make them a feared partnership. And if France go all the way to the final this time around, it's unlikely Trezeguet will be on the sidelines once again.
