Yes born in Barcelona and a really nice guy to talk to plenty of time for the kiddies. Yes he has the potential to be a legend but going from potential to genuine legend takes time and many with potential never make it, so good start but needs to keep it up on a regular basis to get to legend status.
Is there any chance that Lopez can teach CMS about first touch football his ball control is a thing of beauty?
