Barcelona star Lionel Messi took on a penalty shootout with a difference for a TV channel in Japan.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, who has netted 57 goals so far this season, was asked to go up against a robotic goalkeeper in a bid to prove his shooting prowess.
The 25-year-old was given three chances to find the back of the net while spectators watched on from a studio.
