The Sánchez-Pizjuán is all set to remember the myth again tonight. Antonio Puerta went down in the club¿s history with his goal against Shalke in 2006, paving the way for more titles. An ongoing story which is still being written, with exciting new chapters. Because today's encounter also brings strong emotions: the opponent is Rome, headed by Monchi, who will once again get an ovation from the Pizjuán, as will Fazio and Perotti. Another exceptional visitor in the stand will be Jorge Sampaoli.
In sporting terms, the game is the last friendly before the Champions League play-off against Istambul Basaksehir, making today¿s tie something more than a tribute. Another incentive is the prospect of seeing Banega again, and to see how Muriel, Kjaer, Pizarro and Nolito are adapting. Likewise Jesus Navas, Puerta¿s great friend, who provided the assist for that goal which went down in the club¿s history.
