Eden Hazard marked his return to the Real Madrid starting XI with one of the filthiest pieces of play this season.
The Belgian hasn't had a fruitful time since he moving to Real Madrid and he's been plagued by persistent injuries.
But after cameos against Real Betis and former club Chelsea following recovery from his latest injury, Hazard started and played 72 minutes for Real in the 2-0 win over Osasuna yesterday.
Hazard wasn't on target, and both goals came after he had been replaced by Isco, but we can't ignore his gorgeous backheel through ball.
He was on the right flank and being pressured by a defender when he produced the most outrageous no-look backheel pass that set Marco Asensio on his way.
It was unbelievably nonchalant and the ball went perfectly into Asensio's path. Hazard made it look so casual when it really wasn't.

The glorious bit of individual brilliance - and Hazard's performance on the whole - got a lot of love on social media:
Hazard will be hoping his display will be enough for him to making the starting XI for his return to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg.

Speaking after he came off the bench in the 1-1 draw at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, Hazard told BT Sport: "We have to go there to try to win the game.
"It's always good to play against friends - I have a couple over there - but now I'm a Real Madrid player, I just want to win.
"It doesn't matter if it's against Chelsea or another team."
