Surely, this has to be a booking?

During Bayern Munich’s Champions clash with Arsenal, midfielder puppeteer Xabi Alonso is taken out by the corner flag in a nasty tackle just as he looks to sweep one into the box.

Hopefully the television replays will allow Uefa to throw the book at the offending corner flag, and issue a lengthy ban.

At half time, Alonso’s pride is said to be recovering and suffering no ill affects as Bayern sit 3-0 goals to the good.
