Dani Olmo Reached Peak Footballing Intelligence With Genius 'Handball Free-Kick' Routine, Tricked Lucas Hernandez

Dani Olmo Reached Peak Footballing Intelligence With Genius 'Handball Free-Kick' Routine, Tricked Lucas Hernandez

Genius.

RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo tricked Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez into giving away a free-kick during Saturday's German Super Cup clash with a genius free-kick routine.

Bayern ran out 5-3 winners in a thrilling contest and they were 3-0 up at the break thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala, Sadio Mane and Benjamin Pavard.

Serge Gnabry added a fourth in the second half, but Leipzig didn't go down without a fight and managed to get the scores back to 4-3 late on.

Olmo was the man who scored Leipzig's third in the 89th minute and he pulled out the ultimate s**thousery trick when hunting for that equaliser.

Bayern full-back Alphonso Davies went off with an injury and Leipzig were tasked with giving their opponents the ball back to resume play.

It was Olmo who shouldered that responsibility and he very carefully dribbled the ball out to the byline.

The Spain international walked away and let Hernandez pick the ball up to try and get his side up the pitch.

Little did he know, he had illegally handled the ball and given away a free-kick in a dangerous position.

He argued with the assistant referee as well as Leipzig duo Konrad Laimer and Christopher Nkunku.

Bayern star Joshua Kimmich was fired up as well and Kingsley Coman had to drag him away.

While all this was going on, Olmo was stood out of shot and waiting to get the game underway.

It didn't end up producing much however and Leroy Sane added a fifth late on to secure victory for Julian Nagelsmann's side.

Fans thought Olmo's antics were hilarious however and think it could already be the funniest moment of the season.

One person said: "Assistant linesman couldn’t wait to get that flag up."

Another put: "This is the level of pettiness I can get behind."

A third tweeted: "I did not think that Dani Olmo had this in him."

While another added: "He's badly made a fool out of Hernandez here. I'd be fuming too."

Bayern have now won three Super Cups in a row and 10 overall.

They've also won 10 Bundesliga titles on the spin and begin the defence of their title away to Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday evening.
