These two haven't played each other as often as one would have expected in major competitions have they? Off the top of my head I can only remember the match in that weird three-team group stage of the 1982 WC.
In 1974, that wanker Aragones was a member of the Atletico Madrid team who kicked and hacked and spat and punched Celtic out of the European Cup semi-finals (no fewer than four of them were sent off at Celtic Park).
The final was at Hampden Park against Bayern Munich and, after 114 goalless minutes, Aragones scored with a free-kick. Five more minutes ticked by. The repulsive hatchet-men of Atletico were about to be champions of Europe.
Then the great Georg Schwarzenbeck, who I will buy a beer if I ever meet him, sent a 40-yard daisy-cutter skidding along the grass and beyond the despairing reach of Pepe Reina's dad. The referee blew the final whistle a couple of moments afterwards.
There was a replay a few days later, and Atletico lost 4-0.
It would be nice if Aragones could once again be kicked savagely hard in the balls by Fate on Sunday.

My dad was at that game, he said they weren't afraid to get stuck-in all right.
