Watch: Plucky schoolgirl leaves Gareth Bale for dead, nutmegs Dele Alli in BT Sport advert

The 2018/19 Premier League season is just round the corner and British broadcaster BT Sport has launched a promo video to get fans hyped for the new campaign in which a schoolgirl nonchalantly goes through a slew of sports stars including Gareth Bale and Dele Alli.

Not just the aforementioned duo, but ‘Charlotte’ gives former Welsh flanker Sam Burtton a bone-crunching tackle, before proceeding to smash Britain’s No1. female Tennis player, Johanna Konta.

In an ad that is reminiscent of the ‘Jose +10’ commercial that was aired by German sportswear giants Addidas during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the plucky lass then proceeds to nutmeg Alli, shrug off a challenge by Jesse Lingard and then score, before calmly plopping onto to her sofa.

All in a day’s work and here’s the video:

While the WTA Tour, UFC Championships, Moto GP and rugby are briefly touched upon, the focus here is clear: Football. Premier League and UEFA Champions League football to be even more precise.

The video been quite the rage on social media, with mostly positive reactions on the 1-minute long commercial.

Alli, Bale and Lingard have shared it on their respective social media handles as well to ensure that unless you live under a rock, you’re going to come across the advert.
