He filled up the power bar and smashed this one in

The odd time on FIFA (or Pro Evo, we’re equal opportunity gamers here at JOE) you’ll get a sniff of goal from distance, fill up the power bar and release, only to watch the ball sweetly fly into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper and your opponent crying salty tears of defeat.

Clearly, Diego has been playing a lot of FIFA, as it looks like that’s what he had in mind when he had this speculative long-distance effort which flew in leaving Pinto with no chance, and making him an instant Atleti hero. Again.

Neymar has since equalised from a frankly scandalously good through ball from Iniesta, but this goal is worthy of getting a result n any game, and an away goal against Barca is definitely a valuable thing to take the Vicente Calderón for the return leg.
