'Crazy' Bielsa used all three of his permitted substitutions in the first 38 minutes of the game, with two being injury-enforced and one for tactical reasons.

What Bielsa didn't count on was seeing his goalkeeper sent off. Stopper Mike Maignan was dismissed after arguing with Benjamin Corgnet and throwing the ball at his head.

The Argentine coach decided to put outfielder Nicolas De Preville between the sticks, with the forward paulling off a good one-on-one save to keep the scores level.

After conceding the first goal, courtesy of former Real Betis man Jonas Martin, Bielsa ordered midfielder Ibrahim Amadou to take the gloves and De Preville returned to the attack.

Despite Bielsa's... inventiveness, he was unable to prevent his side from slipping to a 3-0 defeat.

What next for the man people like to call 'loco'?
