Marco Veratti deserves some sort of medal for this comedy foul.
Standing proudly at 5′ 5″, it will come as surprise that the PSG midfielder is somewhat lacking in both the speed and the strength department.
The diminutive midfielder’s short leg length means that winning the ball back can be a chore at times, particularly if you’re trying to catch up with a player who has any sort of pace.
Upon realisation that he had no chance of catching his Bastia opponent in a friendly on Friday night, the Italian decided to pull out a challenge that wouldn’t look out of place on a rugby field.
Outstanding.
