Theresa May plays football with children after being 'inspired' by English teams

Theresa May paid homage to the recent success of English clubs in the Champions League - with a video showing the PM playing football.

This browser does not support the video element.

In footage uploaded to her Twitter page, the Conservative leader was seen taking a free kick in her Maidenhead constituency, surrounded by children and adults.

Mrs May is seen kicking the ball off-camera - and presumably missing her target, as a child's voice can be heard saying 'good try' before the Prime Minister makes a second attempt at a goal on a leafy green.

With Liverpool and Tottenham completing remarkable comebacks to reach the Champions League final, and Arsenal and Chelsea reaching the Europa League final, England became the first country to fill all four European final spots in a single season.

The Prime Minister tweeted: 'It's been a historic week for English football, with Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea inspiring children, adults, Prime Ministers...' along with a video of herself kicking a ball around on the grass.
