A pretty remarkable move for Pep Chavarria.
He only made it to the second tier at 22, he seemed just a solid Segunda full back but has shown massive growth at Rayo.
Now at 28 he gets a move of a lifetime to Chelsea.
It's hard not to admire a story like his, I've said before I have doubts but he's proved me wrong before and I genuinely hope Xabi does to him what he did for Grimaldo

‘Imagine if the details were different – if the death of a young, famously care-free Labour woman prompted televised musings of how she *was* a bit of a slag. The pundit would be lucky to ever darken a studio again’
Me on Ann Widdecombe’s despicable haters
I don't know what prompted Messi to make the decision to go to the Right wing after Egypt made it 2-0
It's almost as if he told himself he's going back 11 years.
Once he went to the right wing he started dribbling like he was 27 again. He almost willed himself to become younger
