For reasons unknown, the internet largely ignored this incredible Bundesliga moment when it first happened last summer.
Mitchell Weiser of Hertha Berlin dove after a mild trip. Freiburg’s Aleksandar Ignjovski saw his opening and took it.
After you watch the GIF a few times, take a look at the official Bundesliga YouTube video.
It’s titled “Painful Shot! - Family Plans on Hold for Weiser.” You can watch him getting hit where it hurts in varying angles, at varying speeds.
Yikes.
Weiser did recover from this shot to the family jewels, but he’s currently out with a back injury instead.
