Rayo 0-0 Getafe. A really, really, really abysmal game of professional football. So bad.

Last call on this: As Athletic end their 40 year Copa del Rey wait, meet the first manager to bring the trophy to Bilbao back in 1915 (and again in 1916 and 1921): Mister Billy Barnes 🏆🏆🏆 #AthleticClub #UniqueInTheWorld Outside Write ⚽️ outsidewrite.co.uk/billy-barnes-i…

You know you're in a good place for lunch when they bring this out after dessert 🇪🇸

Athletic Club pride regional identity over financial gain or sporting success. That's what makes them truly #UniqueInTheWorld .

Considering that Barça have a poor away record in the Champions League in recent years and lost in the group stages at SHAKHTAR DONETSK and ANTWERP, that is a helluva win and performance tonight.

Must say I've missed Ousmane Dembele's brand of gloriously unpredictable footballing lunacy.

Pretty good game this. Not gonna lie.

Tchouameni out of the second leg and Real Madrid 1-0 down after 90 seconds is not the best start...

Pretty special inside here tonight! Real Madrid vs Manchester City!

So the Mbappe scarves are already on sale outside the Bernabeu...

To the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu!
