Luis Suarez and Alexis Sanchez both pass the ‘Touch Challenge’ by controlling ball with the side of their foot fired at 90mph from a CANNON
LUIS SUAREZ proves he has the touch of genius – by controlling a ball fired out of a CANNON.
The Barcelona forward, 29, took on the ‘Touch Challenge’ and traps a ball moving at 90mph, flicking it up off the side of his boot before firing into goal.
Suarez has been superb since his switch from Liverpool to BarcaEPA
It comes after Arsenal magician Alexis Sanchez did the same trick last week – and showed the same touch of class in a video made for Dugout.

Okay, so the ball arcs before dipping into the players feet, but it’s still moving at a fair pace.
Suarez is in the running for the Ballon d’Or next week – with Cristiano Ronaldo the heavy favourite to wrestle back the individual gong from Lionel Messi.
The Uruguayan has continued to be successful in front of goal, hitting twelve in 19 games this season.
But he's being outscored by Chilean star Sanchez - who now has thirteen after netting five in his last two games.
