El Chiringuito are the gift that just keep on giving. They staged a dramatic countdown to the expiration of Lionel Messi’s Barcelona contract yesterday evening.

The Spanish TV show, which has been around since 2014, has earned itself some admirers in England and beyond in recent months.

Their coverage of the European Super League scandal, during which Florentino Perez himself appeared on the show, was exemplary.

Their handling of the Eden Hazard drama, with the Real Madrid winger laughing with his former Chelsea teammates after being knocked out of the Champions League, was hilarious.

They’ve now reaffirmed the fact that they’re the best football TV show in the business, counting down to Messi becoming a free agent with a quite mermirising studio lights show.

Host Josep Pedrerol sits motionless in the chair as the tension builds. He, and everyone working on the show, deserve credit for the exemplary television which they produce.
