11 things we loved this weekend: Zlatan, Van Dijk, Rashford, Aguero
Real Madrid claimed the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday thanks to some incredible sh*thousery, while Liverpool took another big step to ending their wait for a Premier League title.
Elsewhere, Sergio Aguero broke another record and Zlatan Ibrahimovic proved you never lose it.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Fede Valverde
Ultimate sh*thousery. Fair play.

Virgil van Dijk
Big Tackle, sponsored by Claude Makelele.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Starting in Serie A for this first time since returning to Milan, of course he bloody scored.
After netting Milan's second goal against Cagliari away from home, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now scored a professional goal in 4 different decades (from 1990s to 2020s). pic.twitter.com/wnPYMXAoaR

Sergio Aguero
No foreign player has scored more Premier League goals.

Marcus Rashford
Tasty.
Nicola Zaniolo
This amazing run ended with a ruptured ACL. Football is cruel.
One of the best solo runs of the season by Nicolo Zaniolo, which unfortunately ends in a ruptured ACL injury 😞
Looks like he will miss Euro 2020. Gutted. pic.twitter.com/tgiJTep7Rs

Michael Doyle
A 93rd-minute winner from the halfway line? Yes please.
We'll leave the words to @CharlieSlater15… 😵 pic.twitter.com/csdqCg4uy4

Danny Ings
No, not his 81st-minute winner but rather this effort that rattled the crossbar.
Verona v Genoa
Sunday league stuff. Superb.
Verona-Genoa will kick off 15 minutes late because the lines of the penalty areas are wonky and need re-painting. Serie A in 2020

Johan Cruyff
Masahide Tomikoshi’s Instagram feed remains a treasure trove.
Adam Lallana
