Lamine Yamal has been one of, if not the, best footballers on the planet this season.

At just 17 years old, the Spanish wonderkid has taken the football world by storm – scoring 18 goals and providing 25 assists across all competitions, with his incredible performances helping Barcelona secure a historic treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.

But beyond silverware and stats, there’s one timeless test of footballing greatness (aside from doing it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke): the crossbar challenge.

And in Yamal’s case, he passed it with the same ease and precision he displays on the pitch.

The La Masia academy graduate took to Instagram to share his attempt at the #PoweradeCrossbarChallenge. The goal? Strike the ball from the edge of the box and hit the crossbar exactly where a Powerade bottle had been placed – in this case, in the corner.

“Hi, my name is Lamine Yamal and this is the Powerade Crossbar Challenge,” he said in Spanish before stepping up.

With cool confidence, Yamal struck the ball cleanly, finding the corner of the bar with pinpoint accuracy. The Powerade bottle toppled as cheers erupted from those watching.

In his caption, Yamal challenged fans to post their own attempts. Some already have – several proudly wearing shirts with his name on the back.

Think you could beat Barcelona’s wonderboy? Good luck. You’ll need it.
