VIDEO: Marvel at Andrea Pirlo’s superhero powers in Avengers: Age of Ultron spoof

We always knew there as something odd about him

As if he wasn’t enough of a hero already

You may have guessed but we,along with pretty much the entire male species,has a serious man crush on Andrea Pirlo. The Italian is still one of the best players in the world even at the age of 35 and Juventus can thank him for helping them to a 1-0 win over Monaco midweek in the Champions League-despite him missing 50 days through injury.

Well now we may have some proof as to why Pirlo is such a class act, and seems to be able to change games to suit his will. It’s because he’s a bloody superhero isn’t it.

Well,no,not really, but this new video featuring the midfielder along with Juve teammates Arturo Vidal, Giorgio Chiellini and Claudio Marchisio is so well put together he may as well be.

It’s part of the Marvel promotion of their new film Avengers: Age of Ultron, and we only wish that Pirlo really did have these powers in real life and not just because of some computer wizz.

Still,enjoyable none the less.
