Iago Aspas stretched out his shirt with his left hand, lifting the chest of it toward his mouth to kiss the badge. It's his badge, and he's been kissing it a lot lately, more than any of his team-mates can or perhaps ever would do, and more than nearly every player in La Liga could have done with their own.
Aspas had been teed up by Theo Bongonda early in the second half on Sunday at the Benito Villamarin, turning it home on the volley with the outside of his left boot. And so the customary celebration unfolded, lips to the badge, for the second time in an hour; for the fifth time in four games; for the 10th time in eight; for the 12th time in 13.
