This is the moment former Arsenal and Real Madrid star Julio Baptista, nicknamed ‘The Beast’, struggles to take off a hoody sent to him by an ex-teammate because he is far too big for it.

The former Brazilian international was sent the hoody by his former Malaga teammate Joaquin but posted a video of him struggling to get out of the tight-fitting garment.

In the video, Baptista can be seen almost bursting out of the hoody, which bears the name of Joaquin’s recently released ‘Hulio’ brand, and he says: “Joaquin, send me a proper size. You sent something for you, not for me!”

The ex-Arsenal man then says: “I can’t take it off, look.”

Baptista then tries pulling the hoody off but can can’t get it off and he is left with it over his head with his chest bare as he shouts: “Joaquin it’s your fault!”

Former Real Madrid midfielder Baptista and Joaquin were teammates for two years at Malaga from 2011 to 2013.

Baptista, 37, last played Romanian side CFR Cluj but has been a free agent since 12th March.

The Brazilian famously scored four goals in Arsenal’s 6-3 League Cup victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

Winger Joaquin, 37, is the captain of La Liga side Real Betis, where he started his career in the youth ranks.
