Ladies and gentlemen, we have discovered a dog that has the skill and flair of Neymar and the dribbling technique of Kylian Mbappe, which leads us to think that Paris Saint-Germain will launch a world record bid in the next transfer window.
Meet Ollie, the 3-year-old British Bulldog who has been tipped to win the Ballon d'Og in the coming months.

Remarkable footage of the prolific pooch emerged online and owner Cy Saunders has given us an insight into how this all came about.
"We've had Ollie since he was 8 weeks old. He's always running around in the garden with a ball." he told SPORTbible.
"I discovered he had a touch like this last year. My parents run a football team and he's forever around football's."
Ollie, who might have a chance getting in Jose Mourinho's starting XI judging by their performance against Huddersfield, might just be the most talented dog in the world, but someone else might have something to say about that.

Alfie, the four-year old crossbreed, has earned the nickname 'Ronaldog' for his incredible skills on a football pitch.
No, seriously he can perform kick-ups with his head and everything.
As well as dribbling at speed and bouncing the ball off his body onto his head, he can also side-step a ball to confuse his opponent, according to the official DogsTrust website.

Alfie even has a list of skills he can perform, including nutmegging both humans and canines, as well as dribbling at speed, back heeling and diving headers.
Peter Simpkins, who adopted the crossbreed from DogsTrust explains how when they first noticed 'Ronaldog's' ability on the ball:
"Alfie truly is our wonder dog. Not only is he a fantastic family pet, he has football skills I rarely see humans possess, never mind a dog." he said on their official website.
"We first noticed his one-of-a-kind talent when he took a shine to my daughter's footballs in the garden, which at the time were the same size as him. It was so funny watching this tiny dog trying to control a ball, but within a few days he had mastered the art of dribbling and controlling the ball in one-on-one tackles."

"At two years old Alfie now has talent more commonly seen in the Champion's League. His skills are just amazing. He's even been known to 'nutmeg' me and I can never get a ball off him. He's incredible, especially as we've never trained him. It's all natural skill."
DOGS ARE THE BEST.
