Premier League star attempts special version of the crossbar challenge

This is ridiculously hard!

Simon Lloyd

It’s not quite the same Crossbar Challenge we all came to know and love during its Soccer AM days, but it’s still worth a watch…

Juan Mata has been challenged to hit both posts and a crossbar, using just six footballs for each part of the goal frame.

Posted on his YouTube channel, Mata encourages us all to suggest new challenges for him to take on.

Given that he’s only taking aim from the edge of the penalty area and not the half-way line, maybe he should have a go at the traditional Soccer AM version?
