As Ismael’s Instagram post read on the weekend, ‘No pain, no gain’ - this was referring to his head being bandaged up, but it could also refer to watching the painfully dull opening 91 minutes of Alcorcón v Málaga to then being rewarded with that winning goal in the 92nd minute. We look back over Málaga’s first league win of 2021, before looking ahead to our upcoming game at home against Real Zaragoza. There are also detours into discussing Sadiku in Bolivia, Jesé Rodriguez’s career, more La Liga YouTube commentator chat and Matt’s newfound love of the wonderfully-named Dutch footballer Jizz Hornkamp.
