Fernando Llorente: Barcelona's David Villa is one of Spain's all-time greats

Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente has taken the time to praise Barcelona forward David Villa after the latter's brace in Spain's 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifying win at home against Scotland on Tuesday. Villa netted twice to help his side to its 10th win in the qualification campaign and is now Spain's all-time top goalscorer with 50 goals, six more than the previous record holder, Raul. And Llorente has voiced his opinion that it will be hard to erase the former Valencia man's name from the history books. "It is incredible David has scored 50 international goals and I think that's a national record which will be very hard to overtake," Llorente was quoted as saying on the official UEFA website. "It tells you everything about the player. David is one of the all-time greats and it's clear that even after this historic goal he will continue scoring more for Spain for a long, long time."
