Soccer, huh?

The 42 -year -old Spanish laughed and said: 'I am very grateful for them. Not only this season. Even from the beginning, when we were not winning a game, I felt the support of the club, players and followers.

Neutral among us can expect Bournemouth to ensure their afternoons with the best in Europe.

But there is pressure on them to make sure those high heights reach, because it will be more difficult to maintain their talent if they do not.
