Captivating

These two could put on a sell-out show at Carnegie Hall consisting entirely of this magnificent warm-up.

Borussia Monchegladbach duo Max Kruse and Christoph Kramer gave the crowd a free show before their sublime win over Bayern Munich at the weekend.

The pair engaged in a captivating warm-up which involved passing it to each other exclusively using 360-backheel half volleys on the sideline.

The beautiful manoeuvre was reminiscent of something from Swan Lake, Black Swan or one of those artsy ballets that have the word “swan” in their title.

Check it out, in all its majesty in the video embedded below.
