You would expect that one of the commandments of commentating is that Thous Shalt Not Fall Asleep During The Game.
Unfortunately, this was broken by Chinese commentator Dong Lu who was reporting on the recent Champions League match between PSG & Real Madrid.
You might have thought he could blame the jet lag, but no. According to ITV News he wasn't at the game but was commentating in a booth in Beijing and the time difference meant the kick-off time was 3:45am.
The Chinese TV veteran was caught snoring during the last twenty minutes of the game.
And of course it was caught on camera.

Now, if he'd been watching this he wouldn't have dozed off.
The FIFA Puskas Award longlist for the world's best goal has been announced.
Prepare to drool over these incredible goals.
