When Tchaouna was five years old Pedro won the European Cup. How magical.

Pedro made his Barcelona debut nearly 17 years ago. Absolutely remarkable that he is still illuminating the European stage.

The Juanlu Sánchez goal against Atleti last night won't win goal of the season, it probably won't win goal of the month. But it really is beautiful. Twelve passes, all of them so precise and purposeful, as Sevilla worked the ball across and up the pitch in absolute harmony.

Last night Jesús Navas was an unused substitute against Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid.
When Navas first faced Atleti, in 2004, Simeone was an unused substitute.
Incredible longevity.
