My Take
Francisco "Paco" Buyo embodies a kind of greatness I find easy to overlook and impossible to dismiss. Goalkeeping is a thankless trade, the last line where every mistake is magnified, yet he stood in the box for 542 La Liga matches, third all-time at his retirement, and won twelve major titles at Real Madrid after his Sevilla years. To me that longevity is the real headline: durability under relentless pressure is its own form of genius. From Betanzos in Galicia to the summit of Spanish football, Buyo represents the reliable, unglamorous backbone every champion side secretly depends on, and I rate him highly for it.
