Many football fans were surprised on Saturday, December 23 when they saw former Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen in Barcelona's line up against Real Madrid.
Vermaelen has had an immensely frustrating time at the Nou Camp only managing 30 games since his transfer from Arsenal in 2014.
But Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde opted to start the Belgian following an injury to Samuel Umtiti and he did not disappoint against the reigning Spanish champions.

Vermaelen’s wife Polly Parsons took a lovely video of the defender’s kids screaming their heads off as a picture of their dad emerged on the TV.
They can be seen pointing at the screen in adoration of their father who went on to keep Cristiano Ronaldo and Co at bay.
