Back in 1989, as RCD Mallorca celebrated their promotion to La Liga, defender Miguel Ángel Nadal was pulled aside for a quick interview.
The toddler he was casually holding in his arms? His own three-year-old nephew a kid named RAFAEL NADAL. 🎾
Bernardo on his first meeting w John Stones: “when I was at Monaco (playing against City) I won a foul by cheating, and John called me a little soft c**t!” 😭😭
Very lucky to be at Selhurst Park tonight with my Palace supporting father-in-law, on a special night for the Eagles…
Don’t be fooled by Fiorentina’s terrible start to the season, they’ve improved massively in recent months and have far more experience in this competition.
But Palace bullied them completely in the first half, dropped intensity slightly in the 2nd before Yeremi Pino inspired a final rally.
Completely deserved 3-0 win!
Poor David De Gea ended up covered in streamers on his return to the UK…
