WATCH: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang re-invent the crossbar challenge with stunning skills

Liverpool fans know he is more than a bit special.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did not really deserve to be on the losing team in last week’s Europa league quarter-final at Anfield, but somehow that is where the Borussia Dortmund frontman ended up.

He has bagged an incredible 41 goals this season already, and now he may have created a new way for players to try the training ground staple of firing a football at a crossbar from an array of distances.

Youtube sensation Touzani travelled to Dortmund’s training ground to film a segment with Aubameyang and the results are pretty class.

It’s not your bog-standard fire a ball at the woodwork effort either, as the Borussia Dortmund striker tries to perform a piece of skill, before then launching the ball at the frame of the goal.

Touzani isn’t too bad either, as you expect from the freestyle king, and this is definitely one to try next time you’re down at five-a-side.
