Bayern Munich stars David Alaba, Javi Martinez and Renato Sanches put their first touches to the test as they attempted to control a ball travelling at 60mph.
The Munich trio joined F2 Freestylers Billy Wingrove and Jeremy Lynch in taking on the ball machine challenge.
The three players had to stand in the middle of the centre circle and make sure the ball does not leave it to score a point.

F2 Freestyler Lynch wanted to see what all the fuss was about and had a go first. It took him over five attempts to properly bring the ball under control and after predicted that the players could actually get zero points.
He was wrong, but it's fair to say none of them fully enjoyed the experience, particularly Sanches.
The Portugal international has hit a tough patch in his career and on the basis of this showing will have to put some more hours in on the training pitch.
Sanches struggled to get to grips with the pace of the ball and also got a few knee-high ones which didn't aid his cause.
He eventually got the hang of it and controlled the ball on his third attempt.
Alaba and Martinez didn't fare much better, though the latter enjoyed the most success and made it look easy by controlling the ball on his first attempt.
It's highly unlikely the three will have to deal with a pass at such speeds in an actual match and they will glad that's the case.
