Philippe Léonard (born 14 February 1974) is a Belgian retired footballer who played as a left back. After playing most notably for Standard Liège and Monaco, he rarely appeared for his following four teams (including Standard again) in a 16-year professional career. Léonard represented Belgium at Euro 2000, being an international over a 12-year period. ==Club career== Born in Liège, Léonard started his professional career at Standard Liège. There, alongside Régis Genaux and Michaël Goossens, he was part of The Three Musketeers generation – with Roberto Bisconti playing a smaller role – hailed for their sporting talent but with a troublesome character. He won the Belgian Cup in 1993, only 19, having scored in the final against R. Charleroi SC, and also helped the side to two runner-up league places (1992–93 and 1994–95), each time bowing out to R.S.C. Anderlecht. Subsequently, Léonard moved to France where he played with AS Monaco FC, also having a brief stint with OGC Nice. Whist at Monaco, he scored in the semifinal of the 1997–98 UEFA Champions League against Juventus FC, in a 4–6 aggregate loss, being the only Belgian player to score at this stage of the competition; in the previous round, he helped oust Manchester United on the away goals rule after a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford. After two Ligue 1 titles with Monaco, to which he contributed with 38 games and two goals combined, Léonard returned to Standard, where he again finished second, in the 2005–06 season, again to Anderlecht. Subsequently, he had short spells abroad, with Feyenoord and FC Rapid Bucureşti. Léonard ended his career in 2009, at the age of 35, after not being able to find a new club. He subsequently took up writing columns in Belgian newspapers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippe Léonard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
