This dog has some serious skills on the football pitch.

Alfie, who goes by the appropriate nickname Ronaldog, is a two-year-old crossbreed with a deep love of Britain's most popular sport.

"It was so funny watching this tiny dog trying to control a ball," owner Peter Simpkins told Dogs Trust. "Within a few days he had mastered the art of dribbling and controlling the ball in one-one-one tackles."

It looks like there's no limit to Alfie's skills.
