Rodri-Busi ✅ Porro-Alba ✅ Mr Revista ✅ The golden threads uniting two eras...

Hola!

For the final time of the tournament, Pete Jenson here 🙋‍♂️

The commentator Mike Ingham didn’t get much wrong — and he can be forgiven for calling Jordi Alba’s goal in the 2012 final for Cesc Fabregas.

I mean, what would a full-back be doing rampaging through the middle of the park, after all?

I was instantly reminded of that when Pedro Porro scored against France in the semi-final (below).

There are important threads that unite the two eras.

There’s Rodri easing into the Busi position, centre-halves that can play penetrative passes, the ability to operate without a classic No.9…

And there’s one more thread… Graham Hunter — he was there then, and he is there now.

Vamos, Mr Revista!
