As part of an advertising campaign to promote his new fragrances the Real Madrid striker, Cristano Ronaldo, has challenged seven of his friends to show the world their best football tricks.

Amongst those named in the challenge were Nico Rosberg, Rory McIlroy, Conor McGregor, Miguel Paixao, Callum Airey and Niall Horan. Monaco resident and former F1 driver, Nico Rosberg, rose to the challenge this week and published his keepy-uppy attempt on his Facebook and Instagram pages.

After a short absence from social media the F1 star and proud father announced the birth of his second child, Naila Rosberg on 16th September. Apologising for his absence Rosberg published a vlog to introduce his new daughter to the world. Less than a week later the star took to social media once more to show off his impressive keepy-uppy skills for Cristano Ronaldo and naming seven more friends that he now challenges to do the same.

Those named by Nico Rosberg were none other than former President of the USA Barak Obama, actor Will Smith, Anthony Joshua, Philipp Lahm, Jon Olsson, Marcus Butler and tennis star Roger Federer.
