Andrea Pirlo caught predicting future in NYCFC's win vs. Fire

Updated Mar. 4, 2020 11:34 p.m. ET

Not that we needed further proof of Andrea Pirlo being inhuman, but the Italian maestro gave us another reminder over the weekend.

In NYCFC's win against the Chicago Fire on Sunday, Pirlo was spotted predicting the future. As David Accam lined up to shoot a penalty in the 72nd minute, Pirlo is seen tipping the Fire player's shot selection.

Unfortunately for NYCFC, goalkeeper Josh Saunders didn't heed his teammate's advice and instead dove the other way.

Accam's penalty conversion made for a tense close to the match, but NYCFC would hang on for the win on opening weekend. Even so, perhaps Saunders will keep an eye on Pirlo the next time he's in a penalty situation.
