When Ever Banega scored a beautiful free kick against Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup, he must have thought he’d netted the set-piece of the game.

His first response was this postage stamp golazo… https://twitter.com/barcastuff/status/631177465084407808 And […]

Forgive and forget. That’s the mantra that the characters from Game of Thrones live by because we all know that any arguments in Westeros are resolved with a peaceful discussion over hot cocoa.

Footballers aren’t strangers to practical jokes, but you don’t often see them messing around mid-game.
