Hi everyone and welcome to today’s memorial match to honor the great Antonio Puerta which just happens to be a homecoming for someone that is dear to our hearts here at Monchi’s Men. The man, the myth, the legend, Monchi, arrives back in the RSP for the first time since leaving and taking the long rumored job at Roma.
I have only watched one friendly so far this season, but from all accounts we have looked fairly decent in the warm ups to the Champions League match next Wednesday against the Turkish side, İstanbul Başakşehir. Today’s match will pit us against a good opponent with a ton of talent. The lineup for Sevilla is in:
Rico
Mercado, Pareja (C), Lenglet, Escudero
N’Zonzi MKD
Montoya - Banega - Correa
Ben-Yedder

Also, just an update: we have moved commenting to forum.monchismen.com. As of right now, you will have to create a new login to post. I’m trying to get Single Sign On working, but it is somewhat challenging. If you have any trouble logging into the new forum, email me at chris @ Chrislail.net

Damn it’s dusty here in the office. :frowning: It’s amazing how big Puerta’s daughter has gotten.

El estadio is full!

4

Banega with the #10 is perfect!

5

I’ve always been a big Perotti fan. I was sad to see him go.

Nolito on for Correa 30’
I hope Correa didn’t pick up a knock.

8

Montoya sure isn’t afraid to shoot. He’s looked pretty good today.

9

Corchia on for Mercado who came up with a knee injury. Hopefully nothing serious.

10

big save there from Rico off the free kick

11

Por que no PK on the WBY drive? Keeper seemed to have gotten player and no ball in my viewpoint.

12

I really wish Navas would score.

13

Escudero scores! Great pass from Nolito

14

Escudero will have to do :slight_smile:

Perotti’s neck tattoo is horrific. Not sure what it is, but damn it looks terrible on TV.

16

remember he played for us… was always a bit of a waste of talent

17

I recall Nolito scoring an identical goal against us for Celta Vigo 2 seasons ago

18

Great strike by Dzeko

2-1

Really? I always thought Perotti was great here. He didn’t get the opportunities he should have.

I liked him for sure, but he was to me another south american who arrived with loads of hype but never delivered on a consistent enough basis
