We can guess that competing with the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez is a thirsty business, but Michael Krohn Dehli went and proved it.
The Danish midfielder had just completed ninety minutes of football in the UEFA Super Cup clash against Barcelona, in a thrilling game that included eight goals.
The prospect of two extra halves drove poor Michael to drink, as he clearly needed a swift half of his own to continue.
It explains why the 32-year-old gulped down a quick swig of beer as he prepared for extra time – despite holding a non-alcoholic drink in his other hand.
We’re guessing he needed a few more after Barca’s Pedro secured a dramatic 5-4 win for the Catalans…
Just a quick during-match beer from Michael Krohn Dehli http://t.co/txix39TdjV
