Barcelona legend takes on the Beko washing machine challenge

Footballers are competitive sorts and rarely shy away from a challenge, so it comes as no surprise that Barcelona players both new and old have been lining-up to take on the Beko washing machine challenge.

The challenge has been created by washing machine manufacturer Beko as part of their partnership with European giants Barcelona which has also seen a new range of Barcelona branded products released to the market.

The idea behind the campaign it is that Beko are promoting the notion of ‘play’ as they are committed to try and give their customers more time to enjoy their lives by providing faster, smarter and more flexible technology.

Current superstar striker Luis Suarez has already taken on the challenge and showed us all how it was done after scoring a goal in to the washing machine with his very first attempt.

However, now it’s the turn of Barca’s legendary defender Eric Abidal to put his skills to the test as the former France international went head to head with football freestylers and the general public.

The task was simple…..shoot the ball in to the drum of a new Beko front loading washing machine. Check out how Abidal got on below:
