The footballing calendar rarely gives us a moment to catch our breath, and this weekend was no exception.

Sunday’s El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona was among the standout fixtures on a packed schedule, but our attention was drawn elsewhere, too.

Here are 12 of the best things we’ve seen this weekend.

Preston Fearon

Left foot, right foot. Outrageous.

Frank Anguissa

Lovely improvisation.
