Modern footballers and their play-acting, eh?

Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker treated a crowd gathered for a pre-season event in Japan to an exhibition of their samurai skills.

Dressed up as Japanese warriors, the pair bowed to the audience and to each other before starting a sword fight.

Once again, Mertesacker’s defensive vulnerability in a one-on-one situation was clear to see as Podolski emerged the victor.
