There are truly great stories around the world if you go looking for them. One of the great sports stories of the past week was FC Magdeburg’s Alexander Nollenberger nutmegging Michael Olise during their DFB-Pokal clash. Playing against one of the world’s best players is enough of a treat in itself, but Nollenberger was overjoyed to have pulled off a now-famous nutmeg past Olise.
After the match, Nollenberger wasn’t shy about reminiscing on the moment, despite a defeat and exit from the cup. “I’ll
have to get that one framed. I was a bit lucky, but I’ll take it. In the end, though, it doesn’t really do anything for me,” Nollenberger told @DasErste, as captured by @iMiaSanMia.
The Magdeburg player was a man of his word and actually did get the moment framed. Perhaps he could have picked a frame that better fit the image, but hey, you do you. Either way, this is surely a memory he won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Enjoy, Alex!
