21 things we loved this weekend: Griezmann, Ronaldo, Pogba, Alaba…
We’re here to make sure you start your week right with a compilation of absolute stunners scored around Europe this weekend.
Barcelona scored not one but two, and neither of them were finished off by Lionel Messi, although he did prove instrumental in both.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Luis Suarez
What a f*cking goal.
What a goal from Barcelona! 😱
Messi plucks the ball out of the air from the goal kick, sets off on a mazy run, and then Suarez bends one into the far corner 🔥
2-1 inside 20 minutes in a thriller! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/U2UYeTpk9o

Sergio Ramos
Another goal, but he even managed not to concede a penalty just by being Sergio Ramos.
Sergio Ramos has scored more La Liga goals than Figo, Xavi and Zidane. Not bad for a defender! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/Wc85Nndhe8
