 Winning a second Spanish league title with Barcelona in [[1999]], Rivaldo won both FIFA and World Soccer magazine's World Player of the Year awards. He was voted European Footballer of the Year by France Football magazine.
-In June 2002, Barça decided to release Rivaldo from his contract a year before it was due to expire and he signed a three-year contract with the Italian Serie A club A.C. Milan. He left the star-studded Milan after a season of very few starts. After a brief stint back in Brazil with Cruzeiro (11 games played, 2 goals scored), he signed with [[Alpha Ethniki|Greek]] power [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]] for the [[2004]]-[[2005|05]] season and won the Greek championship and the Greek cup (23 games played, 12 goals scored). Rivaldo scored some memorable goals in his first season at Olympiakos, including a fantastic effort in the cup final with a well placed lob from a difficult position close to corner flag. In the last game of that season, Olympiakos won vs [[Iraklis FC|Iraklis]] in an away match in [[Thessaloniki]], with a nice goal by Rivaldo. This win was essential for Olympiakos to take the championship. Rivaldo also scored 2 memorable free kicks during the season, the first was in the local derby vs the other [[Athens]] giant, [[Panathinaikos FC|Panathinaikos]] and the second against English club Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.
