Anyone who has ever played football at any level – including the school playground – will be fully aware of the ‘sweet spot’.

It is when you catch the ball full on the laces with perfectly focused power. Whether the resulting effort flies into the net, shanks narrowly wide, or pings the woodwork (school fence), it is a truly glorious feeling.

Paul Pogba knows it better than most. He is a prolific scorer of absolute stunners, but even for him this is a peach.

The ball sat up for him perfectly in the 2oth minute against local rivals Torino, and he let fly with an explosive contact that was as sweet as you ever will see. As the commentator says: Belter.
