Atletico Madrid stars Antoine Griezmann and Koke participated in a unique social media challenge devised by Chris Matthews, the basketball shooting coach known online as "Lethal Shooter." The challenge required the Atletico Madrid stars to kick footballs into a standard basketball hoop surrounded by metal spikes, testing both their precision and nerve. Griezmann, the 2018 World Cup winner, made his basket in one try while Koke needed two tries to get the ball into the net.
