By now, you’ll probably have seen the goal scored by Marco Asensio against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
With Real Madrid leading 3-1 from the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup final, the 21-year-old received the ball 35 yards from the Barca goal. Shifting it on to his left foot, he arrowed the ball into the top corner of Marc-André ter Stegen’s goal.
Although Karim Benzema later added a second goal, Asensio’s strike as good as settled the contest.
In the time since, footage of the goal has rightly been shared high and wide as football fans laud its quality. Undoubtedly, it is a beautiful, beautiful goal.
Now though, thanks to one Twitter user, footage of the goal has somehow been enhanced with the words of Alan Partridge.
Steve Coogan’s beloved character once commentated on football highlights for The Day Today and one of his more memorable lines has been added to a video of Asensio’s goal. Since being shared on Twitter on Thursday evening, the video has received in excess of 5,000 retweets.
