Gheorghe Hagi was some baller in his day. The Romanian legend is the greatest footballer to come out of the country, earning 125 international caps during a career that took in stops at both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
He has also gone on to make a lasting impact in the country founding a new club, FC Viitorul Constanța, in 2009. They have the stated goal of producing talented young players in their academy, and one their success stories is a son of their founder.
Ianis Hagi came through the youth system at the club, and has gone on to establish himself as a major prospect. He scored a belter against England in the U21 Euros during the summer, and has since moved to Belgian club Genk for a reported €8million fee.
The 20-year old started their game against Sint-Truiden at the weekend, where he would do something remarkable.
Hagi scored two penalties in the game, which would finish in a 3-3 draw. Not an amazing feat in itself, except that he would take one penalty with each foot.
He rolled the first one in with his right foot, only to blast one in with his left just over 10 minutes later. Take a look at this.

It takes some balls to try and pull that off. We have a feeling this lad is going to go far.
