VIDEO: James Rodriguez foreshadowed his Getafe free-kick while playing Playstation as a 17-year-old

Inception

Darragh Murphy

We always called James Rodriguez a magician but little did we know that he was a psychic too.

The Real Madrid midfielder has made a name for himself as a goalscoring wizard with his effort at last summer’s World Cup earning him the coveted Puskas Award in December.

The Colombian added to his highlight reel of golazos with a gorgeous dinked free kick when Real Madrid beat Getafe 7-3 last weekend.

And, in Matrix-like circumstances, it seems like the 23-year-old predicted the very same goal six years ago when he was recorded guiding home a free kick on his Playstation.

Madness.
