Pies might be unrepentant cynical grumps 99% of the time but sometimes, just sometimes, football is just really, really great.
Here’s 19-year-old Benfica prodigy Joao Felix scoring against Vitoria Setubal in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Monday night and then running to celebrate with his younger brother, Hugo, who just so happened to be the ball-boy behind the goal…

Hugo is also a Benfica player and currently plays for the club’s Under-15 side.
The seniors went on to paste Setubal by four goals to two, taking them top of the table above Porto on goal difference.
