That’s Argentinian journalist Manuel Sanchez trying to recreate a Ronaldo bicycle kick for what would become a video that would be shared amongst Argentinian soccer media elites. And then this happened. Manuel’s going to be on the disabled list for a few months.
SNAP! I’m just thankful here that you don’t get a good look at Manuel’s ankle/shin shattering. This is plenty.
As for the kick he failed to recreate, that was Ronaldo’s bicycle kick from an early April match against Juventus. Real Madrid won 2-0.
