We don’t talk enough about Joaquín.
Sure, we all know about Zlatan Ibrahimović, but there is another attacking player who is even older and still doing it at a high level in a top league.
That man is 41-year-old Real Betis winger/living legend Joaquín, who is entering his 24th professional season, and still scoring golazos — as he showed on Thursday in the Europa League.
Joaquín scored a fantastic curler from the top of the box against Ludogorets, giving his side a two-goal lead in the first half.
Prior to this season, Joaquín signed a one-year renewal with Betis after he helped the club lift the Copa del Rey. It was the second time he won the competition with Real Betis, having also done so in 2004-05.
The winger has made more than 600 La Liga appearances in his career, the most ever for a field player.
We bow in the presence of a true legend.
