The actual 2023/24 campaign hasn’t even started yet but we’ve already got a contender for goal of the pre-season from Marc Bartra.

Bartra’s Real Betis side hosted Vincent Kompany’s Burnley outfit on Friday afternoon, and with the verdiblancos trailing 1-0 in the 50th minute, the defender came up with something really special.

The hosts were given a free-kick in the centre circle and a couple of yards from the centre spot in their own half.

A quick look up from Bartra was all he needed to know that a shot from the dead ball was worth a try, and he completely caught out the visiting keeper with his inventiveness.
