Artem Shabanov, 36, rolls back the years — 9.12

Nobody could get near Pablo Castro
Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Ninety minutes of Matheus Fogo at his very best

In brief
- Squad Oleksandr Osman gets it from the manager
- Market UCSA buy the years ahead of Vincent Pons
- Squad Pablo Castro has become a man the manager trusts
