How could you turn your nose up at a 40-yard free kick?

Hakan Çalhanoğlu might just be 20 years of age but he has already made a bit of a name for himself standing over a dead ball. The Bundesliga have put together a YouTube advent calendar and Leverkusen's Turkish international is the latest subject matter with his outrageous free kicks which have captured the imagination in the last three seasons. This cracking highlights package includes a 40-yard strike he put away against Dortmund last year whilst playing for Hamburger and Jurgen Klopp can only watch on and smirk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUoTLBWnzQE&feature=youtu.be Still though, we're unconvinced that he can rival the real master.  This lad.
