The Europa League is pretty uninspiring at the best of times, but luckily enough Thursday nights tend to offer up a cracking goal or two, or a moment of skill worth capturing in GIF form.
A good man for this kind of thing is Porto amusement arcade Ricardo Quaresma, who can really light up a game, or ping one in from 25 yards-plus when the mood strikes him.
Last night's offering wasn't too bad either. Porto crashed out on 4-2 on aggregate to Sevilla, going down 4-1 last night at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The Portuguese side's consolation goal came in stoppage time courtesy of that man again, in typical howitzer fashion.
