Split into two teams, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Michy Batshuayi linked up as a Belgian trio.

While the ‘Rest of the World’ side comprised of French duo N’Golo Kante, Kurt Zouma and Englishman Nathaniel Chalobah.

The aim was simple: chip as many balls into the buckets as possible to obtain maximum points.

But like a lot of things in life, it was easier said than done.

Kante, Zouma and Chalobah made light work of their efforts.

While on the opposing team, Hazard hit a couple of sublime shots to pull things back for ‘Belgium’.

However, Courtois and Batshuayi struggled to get their chips on target, meaning that ‘Rest of the World’ ended up as victors with 6800 points, 800 more than Hazard and co.

At one point, Courtois even begged David Luiz to join in the action even though he was just watching from the sidelines.

And at the end of the competition, the Brazilian showed his natural flair would have been perfect as he struck gold despite being dressed in casual clothing.
