Lost in all the hullabaloo surrounding the defeats that Barcelona and Real Madrid suffered yesterday was the fact that Villarreal’s Pablo Fornals put on one of the most exquisite 15-minute displays of football the game has ever seen.
It’s not 15 minutes of consecutive footballing brilliance, but once you see the highlights you’ll understand.
With the scores level at 0-0 heading into the 50th minute, Fornals got warmed up by dusting his marker with this ankle breaker. It’s like poetry in motion.
Then, with the confidence flowing through his veins, Fornals cracked the sort of half-volley that traditionally wins you the goal of the season award. Bilbao fans inside the San Mames know their football, and they couldn’t help but applaud this absurd effort.
