They say the worst splashback is from your own wood, and if not, just ask Athletic. He sealed Girona’s victory with a great goal finishing a brilliant play by the Catalan team. Surely Ernesto Valverde took note of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if next season he is the starting right back for the lions. A player who fully strengthens the defense, a full-back with great stamina.

The Galician center-back gave life to Oviedo in their fight against relegation. After more than a month injured, he returned in the best possible way with a goal that gives the Asturian team some breathing room. His absence was a heavy blow, but now he comes back to lead the defense of the Carbayón squad. Tenacious and a good arriving player despite it not being his mission, he delivers as few do.

He equalized for Betis and rescued an important point in their fight for fifth place. Raised in the endless youth academy of La Masía, he returned after three months out injured and did so in the best way imaginable, scoring the 1-1 that would ultimately be final. A player prone to injuries, he must establish himself as a starter in the coming matchdays if injuries spare him. Still far from what he promised in England, he will try to take a step forward to give many joys to the Betis fans.

When the 3 points were flying to Valencia, the Senegalese figure emerged to level the match in Vallecas. He had missed the previous match against Sevilla, but reappeared when his team needed him most to earn an equalizer, practically in the last play of the game. He showed up at the far post taking advantage of Lejeune’s flick. Rayo is a different team when Pathé is on the field. Second league goal for the newly crowned Africa Cup of Nations champion.
