I can’t remember the last time I saw somebody kick a football as hard as this.
It may have been a Julian Dicks penalty sometime in the mid 90s, but at least he only had to belt it from 12 yards out.
With his side trailing 2-1 against Villareal, Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka stepped up to a free kick from 25 yards out, and took out all of his frustrations on the poor, defenceless football.
Struggled to keep up with the ball?
Not to worry, here’s the slow-mo.
