That tackle? He hardly touched him. Spanish players doing it all night

Going to ground and writhing when fine.

Interesting to see no mention of the challenge on Beckham after that, that was late, and bent his ankle right over.

I was impressed with his attitude, wanted it, had a point to prove.
Nice to see the desire there from him even at this late stage in his career.
