La Liga

• 16 games into the season, Eibar sits 8th in the league and could possibly make a run at the Europa League with a strong second half.

• This is quite an achievement, given that the team was widely tipped for relegation at the start of the season (http://sport360.com/article/football/la-liga/189812/sport360s-la-liga-verdict-our-writers-make-their-201617-season-predictions/). Eibar's home capacity of 6,300 is also the lowest in the Spanish top flight.

• In the league, Bebe has started only 5 games, with 4 substitute appearances. The Beb has recorded 2 goals and 2 assists thus far.

• Some of you are wondering why Bebe hasn't been starting in every single game. The reason is simple: Bebe doesn't like playing football. This, however, wouldn't stop conspiracy theorists from suggesting that Eibar was match fixing by not playing Bebe in certain games.

Copa del Rey

• Bebe started in both legs, scoring a goal as Eibar eliminated Sporting Gijon 5-2 on aggregate.

• Eibar has a favourable draw against La Liga bottom feeders Osasuna in the Round of 16. Eibar has a chance to go far in the tournament, especially with several big teams drawn against each other in this round (Real Madrid/Sevilla and Barcelona/Bilbao).
