The game itself was borderline unwatchable due to the relentless use of shamefully shameless gamesmanship, crowding the referee, etc, by players from both sides, but David Villa’s opening goal in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was anything but, with the former Barcelona forward slicing in a superbly executed volley to give Atletico Madrid the lead in the 12th minute at the Vicente Calderon…
And again, in infinite GIF form…
Absolutely gorgeous. Innate class like that has no business costing just £2.5million!
As for the gamesmanship (or “cheating” as we like to call it), just get a load of this miserable feigning from Jordi Alba after having his hair ruffled by Diego Costa…
*Sigh*
These are grown men.
