"La Liga team Athletic Bilbao have taken part in a charity football match against 200 local children, who were all on the pitch at the same time.
The match was held as a farewell to winger Joseba Etxeberria, who spent 15 years playing for the club. Dubbed 'the impossible game' it was meant to see two teams of 100 Basque kids each take to the pitch against the pros for one half.
But despite taking an early lead, the youngsters were unable to capitalise on their numerical advantage and in the second half resorted to throwing on all 200 players.
However, even adopting the soon-to-be classic 66-80-51 formation (and having three goalkeepers) wasn't enough to secure a win and Athletic won the game 5 - 3.
Over 20,000 fans turned up to watch... be glad you weren't commentating!"
