I’m not sure he does ‘nail it’! Relatively smooth touchdown I grant you, but I don't see any evidence of him removing the drift during the flare. The undercarriage does the job of aligning the aircraft with the runway track.

Demanding skill especially in a strong crosswind, but surely the objective is to de-crab just before the mains settle! 🤔
