When the board went up with four minutes on it at the end of Atlético Madrid’s visit to Montilivi, the same thought crossed pretty much everyone’s mind: oh come on, is that all?
It was way after 11pm on a cold, misty Wednesday night in January, the first time fans had ventured out since Christmas, but they would have carried on until the morning if they could have. Once in a while a game comes along you wish would never end – once in a while or every other week if you’re Girona, purveyors of partidazos, serving up a 5-3, a 5-2, and three 4-2s – and this was it. A bit special, even for them.
