A Premier League cult icon has shown that he's very much still got it at the tender age of 40 with a stunning free-kick to put his boyhood club into the LaLiga play-off final.
Real Oviedo faced Almeria for a chance to play for a spot in the LaLiga play-off finals on Wednesday night, having won the first leg on the road 2-1, but were down a goal early on at home.
But then, at the break, the hosts needed something special if they were to hold on to their dream of promotion, and they looked to the bench for some inspiration.
It was there they found former Spain and Arsenal legend Santi Cazorla, who was back at his boyhood club where he is still going into his fifth decade.
Within three minutes of his entrance, Oviedo had won a free-kick on the edge of the box, and there was only one man who would be taking the set-piece.
Up stepped the veteran captain, and duly curled the ball into the bottom left corner, to score the decisive goal and put Oviedo into the final.
Cazorla's return to the club in 2023 is one of the most romantic stories in the game, having signed on at the minimum legal wage, and sent all the proceeds from his shirt sales to the club's academy.
This comes after his career was almost ended following a succession of injuries which culminated with a flesh-eating infection that almost saw him lose his leg, with his Arsenal career ending prematurely after 636 days out of action.
it appeared that football would lose one of the most technically gifted players of his generation.
Cazorla was one of the few players who was completely two-footed, famously going to take a corner from one side, before being asked to switch feet in the middle of the match.
At Arsenal he was lauded for his passing, dribbling and ball control in midfield, with a memorable performance against Manchester City at the Etihad in 2015 living long in the hearts and minds of Gunners fans.
However they were robbed of a farewell by his injury, and his career looked set to end on the sidelines before Villarreal took a chance on the maestro.
There he rebuilt his career, before a stint in Qatar and eventually a romantic return to Oviedo, where, regardless of what happens in the play-off final, he has already shown his class on the biggest stage.
Before his international retirement, Cazorla notched up 15 goals in 81 international appearances.
