Mbaye Niang

Recently mocked for claiming he broke the crossbar at AC Milan, Mbaye Niang was actually telling the truth. Internet sleuths have dug up the video evidence!

In a lengthy interview with Carré media, Mbaye Niang notably discussed his arrival in Italy with AC Milan. He revealed that he managed to shock none other than Robinho, a player already accustomed to sharing the pitch with Seleçao legends and the Galacticos at Real Madrid.

"After the first training session, Robinho told me, ‘You’re a phenomenon, I’ve never seen anything like this.’ That day, I broke the crossbar with my left foot. And I’m right-footed," he recalled. This anecdote stirred up reactions online, with many doubting the story’s authenticity.

But some fans have sharp memories, and they managed to track down the footage from that very day. The video clearly shows the striker unleashing a thunderous shot that sends the crossbar flying. The players had to move the entire goal. For the record, it was a training goal on wheels—obviously less sturdy than a real crossbar—but the video is still worth watching.
