Maxi Rubén Rodríguez (born 2 January 1981 in Rosario, Santa Fe) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays for Liverpool in the English Premier League.

Nicknamed La Fiera, he is commonly used as a winger, but can also operate as an attacking midfielder.^[1] He arrived in Spain in his early 20's, and went on to spend the bulk of professional career there.

Club career

Espanyol

In 2002, he joined the La Liga with RCD Espanyol, his league debut coming on 2 September in a 0–2 loss against Real Madrid. He played 37 matches in every campaign with the Catalonians, scoring 15 times during his last season, including the club's 2000th Spanish league goal.

Atlético Madrid

At the start of the 2005–06 season, Rodríguez moved to Atlético Madrid for a transfer fee of €7 million,^[2] where he continued to post consistent numbers. In his second year, he suffered, alongside teammate (and winger) Martin Petrov, a serious knee injury (ACL), which limited him to only 10 appearances.^[3]

On 10 November 2009, Rodríguez put four goals past UD Marbella in the Spanish Cup Round-of-32 second leg, in an eventual 6–0 home win (8–0 aggregate).

Liverpool

On 13 January 2010, it was announced that he had completed a free transfer to Liverpool, signing a three-and-a-half year deal.^[4] He was given the number 17 shirt.^[5] He made his debut for the club as a second half substitute in a Premier League match against Stoke City on 16 January 2010.^[6]
