What happened. Marc Casado has explained that a three-year-old memory of Deportivo helped convince him to leave Barcelona on a season-long loan this summer. The midfielder completed the switch right at the end of the summer window.

• Casado had been linked with other clubs before opting for Deportivo.
• His connection dates back three years when he played there with Barcelona's reserves.
• Deportivo returned to La Liga after securing promotion last season.

Casado will now look to make his mark at a Deportivo side that has started life back in the top flight solidly, picking up eight points from their opening four league matches.
