With less than a week to go until the World Cup kicks off in Qatar, one team have decided to train slightly different to others.
Brazil's star-studded squad took part in a challenge to see who has the best touch, with some of them impressing in front of their fellow teammates.
The Manchester United man sets his sights on the ball
However once the ball is down, Antony is nowhere to be seen
However, Manchester United's new summer signing Antony wasn't quite able to pull it off, with the winger producing a hilarious attempt for all to see.
In a video posted via Brasil Football on Twitter, Brazil's players were tasked with trying to control a ball that was being dropped by a drone from a height of over 30 metres.
One by one, the internationals made their attempts to trap the ball, with Tottenham forward Richarlison proving to be successful.
Vinicius Jr was next to have a go but the Real Madrid youngster couldn't deliver, with Raphinha also failing to comfortably bring the ball down.
Even Manchester City man Ederson had a go, although he produced a touch than you'd expect from a goalkeeper.
Antony soon stepped up for his attempt, but proceeded to completely miss the ball as it fell to the ground, with his effort causing his teammates to burst out laughing.
It was poor from the talented 22-year-old, but the experienced Neymar was soon on hand to make up for it, with the Paris Saint-Germain star almost effortlessly controlling the ball in what was the best attempt of the lot.
He was even presented with a trophy afterwards, something he can add to his ever-growing list of honours.
Brazil are one of the favourites to go on and lift the World Cup this year, with the five-time winners competing in Group G with Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
Luckily for Antony, the champions aren't decided by how well they can control a ball, although he may want to put some work into his first touch before the tournament.
