After seeing the replay of @milan.cech's ( ) first goal. And I have to say the ref was spot on. The ball took a deflection at a very high speed 1 meter from Zapata. Never a hand ball.
I heard he was playing centrally in a 4-5-1 as opposed to the wing where he has mostly been playing for Boro this season in a diamond 4-4-2. I heard he did well, though I did not watch the match myself.
He's been training with the reserves and even played a match with the U21s but the problem remains that he can't stay fit and train a few consecutive days.
He got 10 mins in the CL during which Malaga barely had the ball outside their half. But it is interesting to note that he played up front in a 4-4-2 rather than on the wing.
