During a recent pre-season friendly between defending Italian champions AC Milan and German side (and GamesCom attendee favourites) FC\u00a0K\u00f6ln, the presenters tried something I don\u2019t ever remember seeing on a football field before: they strapped cameras to some of the players so that anyone watching from home could get as close to the action as possible.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what it looked like in action. There are first-person sections throughout this highlight clip, ranging from the pre-game handshakes to the match itself, but I\u2019ve set the autoplay to the moment that poor K\u00f6ln defender Timo H\u00fcbers is left stranded before getting a front-seat view to an exquisite little finish by Olivier Giroud:<\/p>\n
