Adriano Leite Ribeiro, commonly known simply as Adriano, is a Brazilian former professional footballer. A powerful striker known for his long-range left-footed strikes, Adriano's career was however marked by inconsistency. One of the best strikers in the world in the mid-2000s, he had five prolific seasons in Italy with Parma and Inter Milan, earning the nickname L'Imperatore (the Emperor). Adriano won four Scudetti for Inter Milan, and after moving back to his native Brazil he won two Brasileirão for Flamengo and Corinthians.
