Ahead of FC Bayern Munich’s Champions League Group D opener against Russian outfit FC Rostov on Tuesday night (19:45), team-mates Renato Sanches and Xabi Alonso showed off their expert ball control by teaming up with the Freekickerz in the first episode of adidas Gamedayplus as it returns for the 2016/17 season.

The fellow midfielders were at Bayern’s training ground; Sabener Strasse, joined by another team-mate, Juan Bernat, where they attempted to control footballs being launched at 100kph (kilometres per hour) from a cannon.

And if that was not impressive enough for you; summer signing Sanches, 19, who arrived at the Allianz Arena from Portuguese giants Benfica back in May following his €35 move, then took centre stage and tried to lob Bayern’s 16-year-old goalkeeper, Christian Fruchtl, from 50m out in another skillful challenge.

Bayern face FC Rostov in this term’s first Champions League outing, where Carlo Ancelotti’s side have also been drawn against PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid in Group D.
