Will make a start on this soon! JAGUAR  16:52, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

• Can the second paragraph of the lead be merged with the first one per WP:LEADLENGTH? It's also for organisational purposes.
• "An explosive and creative player on the ball" - too informal, especially for the lead
• The 2016 season should be split into two paragraphs so it makes it easier to read
• "Italy finished runners up to Spain in the final in a heavy 4–0 loss" - Italy finished as runners up to Spain in the final in a heavy 4–0 loss
• The media and personal life sections are extremely short, can they be merged elsewhere?
• Ref 31 is dead and also needs properly formatting
• Ref 35, ref 47, 49, and ref 8 are all dead
• No DAB links

Those were all of the issues I could find, albeit minor. The prose, as usual, is excellent and I couldn't find many issues with that. Once all of the above have been clarified then this should be good to go! JAGUAR  15:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

@Jaguar: Dead links and prose/grammar fixed. Where do you suggest we move the media and personal life sections? Early life probably won't be appropriate since it's not about his early life...maybe make a section called "Outisde professional football" and put the two sentences in there, although still short. And also, do you mean the 2015 season should be split? The 2016 season seems fine. Also, we usually keep seasons together, since if we split into two, what would we call it? "First half of 2015 season" "Second half of 2015 season"? Thanks, Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 15:39, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

I thought that the big paragraph from the 2016 section could be split, not the actual header itself, but I'll leave it to you as it's only a very minor issue. Regarding the short early life and media sections, if no other alternative can be made then I'm fine with leaving it like that. Usually very short sections are discouraged if they can be easily merged elsewhere, but as this isn't the case here then it should be fine to ignore. Anyway, with all of the other issues out of the way I think it already meets the GA criteria as it is, so I'll promote this. Well done! JAGUAR  16:13, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

@Jaguar: Ah, I see! I now split the 2016 section into two paragraphs. Thanks! Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 16:18, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
