Excerpt: Marcos Antonio Senna da Silva (born 17 July 1976), known as Senna, is a Brazilian-born Spanish footballer who plays for Villarreal CF as a central midfielder. He is known for his passing range and long shooting and is also a penalty specialist, and spent most of his professional career in Spain with Villarreal, appearing in nearly 400 official games. Senna represented the Spanish national team during four years, appearing at the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008 and winning the latter tournament, as starter. Born in Sao Paulo, Senna began his career with Rio Branco Esporte Clube.

On 21 March 2012 he scored from a free kick for the 83rd-minute home equalizer against Real Madrid (1-1), but his team would be eventually relegated after a twelve-year stay in the top level. Senna was granted Spanish citizenship in early 2006 and was part of the Spanish squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2008. His debut came on 1 March in a friendly match with Cote d'Ivoire, played in Valladolid. In the quarter-finals of the latter competition, Senna scored the third of Spain's four converted penalties, which resulted in the nation progressing to the
