At 35 years old, an age where most players have already retired, David Villa hasn't stopped. The Valencia legend, who went on to star at Barcelona, has dominated MLS since his arrival in 2014, and he's been awarded with a quite the honor. The New York City FC man was called up by the Spanish national team on Friday for upcoming World Cup qualifiers after a three-year absence.

A World Cup winner in 2010, this just goes to show how great he's been playing in MLS. He's been arguably the best player in the league since joining three years ago, having scored 58 goals in 91 matches.
