Turns out Juan Mata has grown bored of taking free kicks the way a mere mortal would, so has taken to practicing blindfolded free kicks.
Taking on the challenge via his Youtube channel, Mata boasts he has four balls, before proceeding to instinctively fire each one into the onion bag from 25 yards out.
This is all just showing off at this point isn’t it?

David Beckham tips Milan to win the Champions League, despite not being in it
David Beckham was given a rock star welcome in Dubai during the week, where he was opening a new adidas store presumably in return for a boat load of cash to add to the pile.
After a meet and greet with his fans, signing some autographs and generally looking as handsome as ever, Becks was put through the most pedestrian of interviews, giving the most pedestrian of answers – except for one.
After confidently batting away who he most enjoys watching at the moment, Beckham was asked who he thinks will win the Champions League this year. “Who do I want to win is a different story to who I think is going to win, well maybe it’s not actually” he teased, before finally listing three of his former employees; Manchester United, PSG and …..AC Milan. Whilst bookies like sboth are favouring the first two, the third won’t be on any betting list this season. The sharp one’s amongst you will have immediately realised that Milan are not even in the Champions League this year, so if they were to win it, it would have to go down as the greatest achievement in football history.
Poor Becks. Perhaps the flash bulbs are slowly frying his nogging. Watch his gaffe below.

“When you miss you are last” Van Gaal sends penalty taker Rooney to the back of queue

It may be some time before we see Wayne Rooney eyeing up a penalty for Manchester United, after his boss Louis van Gaal revealed he’s been sent to the back of the line.
Van Gaal said that United’s penalty takers work in a sequence, meaning that when the current penalty taker misses, he is forced to wait until his turn comes around again.
