The former River, Internacional Portsmouth and Wolfsburg star helped the Albiceleste to their first-ever football gold medal at Athens 2004
Olympic Games winner Andres D'Alessandro still fondly remembers winning gold with Argentina at Athens 2004, labelling the experience "one of the most important" of his trophy-laden career.
The Albiceleste ran out Olympic football winners for the first time in their history 17 years ago, beating out neighbours Paraguay to take the crown.
And D'Alessandro, still active at the age of 40 for Uruguayan giants Nacional, believes that the competition is like no other in the professional game.
