Barcelona’s Luis Suarez, with Lionel Messi in support, controls ball dropped from 35m crane — video

Luis Suarez is one of the best footballers in the world. The Uruguayan striker has scored 94 goals in 110 appearances since moving to Barcelona in 2014, playing a central role in the club’s 2014/15 treble success and last season’s domestic double.

So when Suarez was challenged by The F2Freestylers to a test of ball control, it was no surprise he passed with flying colours.

In the latest episode of Adidas’s Gamedayplus series, a football is dropped from a crane at 35 metres, picking up a maximum speed of 56 miles per hour. Suarez, who had Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi as support, then has to control the ball dead.

Unsurprisingly, Suarez nails it. Watch the video below.
