"If you watch Patri for the whole game, it will make you smile. Maybe she doesn't put on as much of a show as others, but if you focus on her, you see it. She's one of the best players in the world and is underrated" espn.com/soccer/story/_…

Real Madrid haven’t had a home-grown goalscorer since Raul, but could Gonzalo Garcia be the one to break the mould? espn.co.uk/football/story…
