The story
Over the weekend, football fans witnessed plenty of thrills and spills in Europe's top leagues and the MTN8 semi-finals, with two players in particular standing out for their showboating skills.
Orlando Pirates maverick midfielder, Patrick 'Tito' Maswanganyi put in another crowd-pleasing display in Pirates' 2-0 (3-1 on aggregate) win over Cape Town City in the MTN8 second leg semi-final at Orlando Stadium.
In the 41st minute, Maswanganyi starting juggling the ball in his own half, much to the excitement of the Orlando Stadium faithful, with the 26-year-old becoming a highlight reel after the match:
Vinicius Jr was influential to Real Madrid's attacking impotence in their 2-0 win over Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Kylian Mbappe opened his LaLiga account with a brace.
In the 84th minute, with Los Blancos leading 2-0, Vini took a page out of Tito's Kasi Flava book by juggling the ball to frustrate the Betis defence.
