Davide Ancelotti, widely linked with the vacant permanent Rangers role in the past 24 hours, sparked a substitution that inspired one of Real Madrid's most memorable European moments.
3-2 down on aggregate going into the closing stages of a Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich last season, all hope looked lost for the La Liga giants. Step forward the somewhat unfancied Joselu.
The ex-Stoke City striker had joined Real on a season-long loan deal from then second-tier outfit Espanyol.

As time evaporated and the clock ticked away, manager Carlo Ancelotti struggled for solutions. His son, however, made his point clear [BBC]: "Joselu dai." Dai, an Italian term, means 'come on'.
Ancelotti Sr told the forward to warm up. He was soon thrown on, and in minute 88, capitalised on an uncharacteristic Manuel Neuer error to draw his side level in the tie.
Then, in stoppage time, lightning struck twice.
Central defender Antonio Rudiger, sent forward in a last-ditch throw of the dice, fired a dangerous ball across goal, and Joselu tapped into an empty net.
The offside flag initially contained the striker's joy, but after VAR intervened, he fell to his knees in celebration as the Madrid contingent poured onto the pitch. Ancelotti Jr's masterstroke had come off.
The victory sealed Madrid's place in yet another Champions League final, which they eventually went on to win, beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley.
