This is the comical moment when Giorgio Chiellini decides to "play volleyball" at his new club, Los Angeles FC.
Italy and Juventus legend, the 37-year-old desperately tried to stop the attack in his 4-1 victory over Salt Lake on Saturday. We had a moment of madness as.
Chiellini has just freed after spending 18 years in Turin with Welsh star Gareth Bale as new teammate. He just joined LAFC.
Considered a top-class centre-back, Chiellini's impressive trophy win proves he is a born winner.
With just his 20 minutes remaining in his MLS game yesterday, he again had a ton of gold, even though LAFC was leading him 3-1. I gave a reason.
Real Salt Lake is about to launch a counterattack by launching the ball onto the field.
But instead of trying, Kierni decided to do something else entirely.
He jumped into the air with his 6-foot-2-inch frame, and the crowd expected a powerful header for his clearance.
However, Chiellini instead raised his arms before slamming the ball away from the oncoming Real from his Salt Lake attackers.
Fans couldn't believe what they just saw when Chiellini tried to plead his innocence.

But the referee has nothing of it, Italy gave a man a yellow card for his over-intentional handball.
Chiellini's actions certainly made social headlines on his media, with one fan tweeting: "He played volleyball there!"
Another asked: "Why not red?"
One joked.
Another added, "This is the worst handball since Maradona."
