Watch Real Madrid star Tchouameni’s bizarre ‘Fifa glitch’ tackle as optical illusion leaves fans completely baffled
FANS have been left scratching their heads over Aurelien Tchouameni’s “Fifa glitch” tackle.
The optical illusion occurred during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Real Betis on Sunday.
Kylian Mbappe lived up to expectation as he scored both the goals as Los Blancos moved to second in the LaLiga table.
But it was instead a strange challenge put in by Tchouameni that left fans in shock.
A pass failed to reach Luka Modric and Betis star Iker Losada intercepted.
He then dribbled his team up the pitch, only to be stopped by the outstretched leg of Tchouameni.
It looked like the attacker was past the Frenchman, but he somehow managed to poke the ball away from him without making contact with the player or changing the speed of the ball.
The bizarre-looking incident amazed supporters, with one saying: “That looks like a Fifa glitch.”
Another added: “I watched this clip 60 times I don’t understand it.”
A third reacted: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw it during the game.”

Others are calling the Real Madrid star “Tchouamagic” and “Tchoudini”.
Putting the footage into slow-motion, the player appears to time his tackle to perfection and somehow poke the ball through Losada’s legs while he is running.
