Throwback Thursday: The Magic of Michu
Swansea went on to crush Bradford in the final, with Michu getting himself yet another goal, as the club, for the first time in their long and storied history, won a major trophy.
Michu continued his fine form throughout the rest of the season, as Swansea defied all predictions and secured a top-ten finish in the league.
Over the course of the season, it became commonplace to see the big Spaniard wheeling away, right hand up by his ear, as the Liberty Stadium roared its approval.
Michu finished fifth in the Golden Boot standings with 18 Premier League goals that season, not bad for a bargain-basement buys from the depths of La Liga.
His performances even earned him a cap for Spain in October 2013, in the midst of the Spanish golden generation, a stunning achievement and a testament to his performances.
