This challenge requires a lot of athleticism and precision, and who else could complete this challenge better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic?

Zlatan is known to be one of the most athletic soccer players in the world. The 6’5″ Swedish star has shown his athletic abilities time and time again by scoring nearly impossible goals. So it’s no wonder that Zlatan also tried his hand at the bottlecap challenge. Not only did he attempt it, but he smashed the challenge with his inch-perfect execution.
Back in 2019, the video really caught the attention of many people, one of them being USWNT star Alex Morgan.
Alex Morgan’s response to the video
While some have been able to complete the challenge with flying colors, others have been left scratching their heads. Among those left confused by the challenge is U.S. women’s national team star Alex Morgan. Morgan took to Twitter to share her confusion, writing, “I keep watching like I’ll understand after the 15th time but I still don’t”.

It’s safe to say that Morgan was confused by the video. And didn’t have an explanation as to what the purpose of this was. The USWNT star is known for her performance with the ball and what she is capable of. Even if she didn’t understand the purpose of the challenge, her claim of watching the video 15 times means at least she slightly enjoyed it.
