You never know when you'll meet someone special in New York City, no matter how mundane the activity may appear.
Students in an English-language class found themselves learning alongside the illustrious Andrea Pirlo this week, as the New York City FC midfielder continued his efforts to pick up the native language in his new home.
At least one of his classmates snapped a pic of the global icon, while the man himself tweeted out a shot of himself putting in the work with one of his teachers.
Credit to Pirlo: While he was surely disappointed to miss out on a spot on Italy's roster at the European Championship, he's not moping around.
He could be flashing that smile on the field again as soon as Wednesday, when NYCFC host the New York Cosmos in US Open Cup action at Fordham University's Coffey Field (7:30 pm; YES).
