Rubén González Rocha, simply Rubén (born 29 January 1982 in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia), is a Spanish footballer who plays for CA Osasuna in La Liga, as a central defender.

A youth product of La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, who signed him from local SD Compostela, Rubén would only amass four league first-team appearances in three seasons, his debut coming on 10 May 2002 in a 0–3 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña. On 9 November 2003, the unlucky defender was taken out of a match at Sevilla FC (eventual 1–4 defeat), after just 25 minutes and an own goal; he finished 2003–04 on loan to German Bundesliga outfit Borussia Mönchengladbach.

After a loan period with Albacete Balompié in 2004–05(which finished last in the top flight), Rubén returned to Real Madrid, spending the next season with the B team, in Segunda División. In the 2006–07 campaign, he finally developed as a top level player, with Racing de Santander, helping the Cantabria team finish 10th while scoring his first goals in the category, in consecutive 2–1 wins, at RCD Mallorca and with Villarreal CF. However, he returned the following season to division two, joining Celta de Vigo.

Lionel Andrés Messi (Spanish pronunciation: [ljoˈnel anˈdɾes ˈmesi], born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine footballer who plays in La Liga for FC Barcelona and is the captain of the Argentina national team, mainly as a forward.

By the age of 21, Messi had received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. The following year in 2009 he won both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year, and won the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010 and 2011. He also won the 2010–11 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. Messi is the fourth football player to win three Ballons d'Or, after Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten and the second player to win three consecutive Ballons d'Or, after Michel Platini. His playing style and small stature have drawn comparisons to Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi as his "successor".

Messi has won five La Liga titles and three Champions League titles. In 2012, Messi made UEFA Champions League history by becoming the first player to score five goals in one match, in a 7–1 win against Bayer Leverkusen. With two goals in the next round against A.C. Milan, he matched José Altafini's record of 14 goals in a single UEFA Champions League/European Cup season. He also became the first player to top-score in four successive European Champion Clubs' Cup campaigns. He set the world record for most goals scored in a season during the 2011–12 season, with 73 goals.

Darío has had a great and lasting influence on 20th-century Spanish literature and journalism. He has been praised as the "Prince of Castilian Letters" and undisputed father of the modernismo literary movement.

Manuel García and Rosa Sarmiento were married on April 26, 1866 in León, Nicaragua after obtaining the necessary ecclesiastic permissions since they were second degree cousins. However, Manuel's conduct of allegedly engaging in excessive consumption of alcohol prompted Rosa to abandon her conjugal home and flee to the city of Metapa in Matagalpa where she gave birth to Félix Rubén. The couple made up and Rosa even gave birth to a second child, a daughter named Candida Rosa, who died a few days after being born. The marriage deteriorated again to the point where Rosa left her husband and moved in with her aunt, Bernarda Sarmiento. After a brief period of time, Rosa Sarmiento established a relationship with another man and moved with him to San Marcos de Colón, in Choluteca, Honduras. Although, according to his baptism, Rubén's true surname was García, his paternal family had been known by the surname Darío for many years. Rubén Darío explained it as follows in his autobiography:
