OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE IT.

Santi Cazorla you beautiful man. He came in to a second division club bc it was HIS club. Spent the past 2 years at the club, is turning 41!!! And brings the team to LaLiga.

Santi Cazorla (40) said he'd play for Real Oviedo for free if he could... he is currently on a minimum wage professional contract and he also donates 10% of his shirt sales.

After his goal to spark the comeback, Real Oviedo have been promoted to La Liga.

They are returning to the league after 24 years!!!

Funny thing, anytime they focus on Fernando Alonso, Oviedo score.

Another person I wanna mention, Veljko Paunovic: he was relegated as a player in 2001 and promoted now as a technical director.

God I hope Cazorla sticks around for another year, what a legend he is. Absolutely unbelievable he even can walk again, let alone play football at this level!

it just angers me so much that arsenal once had a midfield of cazorla, özil, arteta, and ramsey and that team only won the fa cup (okay, twice).

they even had alexis, walcott, and stupidly sexy giroud for support.

I love Wenger, he built a lot of special arsenal teams
