WATCH: Nicklas Bendtner scored a last minute equaliser against Bayern, then the winning penalty

What?

Conan Doherty

Yep.

So, this really happened.

Like, actually.

Nicklas Bendtner is intent on making mugs out of the doubters every single person in the world and what a way to start, delivering the first piece of silverware of the season for Wolfsburg.

The Danish superstar – that’s what we call him now – was sprang from the bench in the 70th minute in the German Super Cup to devastating effect. And not even in the jokey, Nicklas Bendtner type of way.

Genuine devastation.

First up, he cancelled out Arjen Robben’s goal for Bayern Munich with an 89th minute equaliser when he hammered one in to send his side to extra time.

And, if that wasn’t too much, you might want to sit down for this next piece of information.

He only went and hit the bloody winning penalty. And what a cracker of a strike it was, too.

Xabi Alonso missed the only effort of the shootout, but we don’t like speaking ill of Xabi.

Besides, this is Lord Bendtner’s day. At last. Check out the shooutout below.

All hail.
