Xabi Alonso does the most clumsy thing in his classy life (Video)

This is absolutely glorious. And very very weird.

Xabi Alonso is renowned around the world for his effortless grace and rare style. He plays the game as if wearing a dinner jacket and a pair of loafers.

Which is why it’s great seeing a true artisan of the game f**k up just like you and I would.

With Bayern Munich 1-0 up against Arsenal, the classy Spaniard sauntered over to take a corner. The Gunners’ defenders readied themselves for a pinpoint cross.

Except Xabi did something far better – he accidentally kicked the corner flag and backpedalled like a wayward drunk trying to make contact with a pigeon.

Enjoy this rare moment of clumsiness from the Kind of Cool…
