The past few days have seen some stupendous goals from the Premier League, La Liga, FA Cup qualifiers and the Iraqi League.
While there have been several golazos to take our breath away, there have also been enough life-affirming moments to check any seasonal depression.
Here are 14 highlights that we’ve been watching on repeat all weekend, starting in Seville:
