Ken Block and his Ford Fiesta ST RX43 are back, but this time that are not featuring in a Gymkhana video. Instead, the rally racer and YouTube sensation has a Brazilian national football team player, Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior for company.

Neymar Jt., who also plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona in La Liga, along with freestyle football champions Andrew Henderson, Séan Garnier and Lassi Hurskainen take on Ken Block in the new Castrol Footkhana.

Guided by former Brazilian footballer and 2 time World Cup winner Cafu, the trio display their skills with the ball on a specially designed Castrol Footkhana course, as they score goals, even as Block engulfes the place in tyre smoke. They further go on to demonstrate their mastery over the ball by performing various creative and technical tricks.

Ken Block on his part, does what he does best, which is, burning lots of rubber as he drifts around the players and the goal post. He and his team mate, his trusted Ford Fiesta even manage to tie the goal; 3-3.

Neymar Jr, commenting on the project, said: " It has been amazing to work with Ken Block and the other freestylers, bringing our skills together in this Castrol experiment. I can't wait for football fans to see our freestyle tricks in action as we go head-to-head against Ken and his car."

Ken Block, who will also be featuring in a number of upcoming Castrol campaigns over the next 12 months, said: "I'm stoked to partner up with Castrol again this season. I know my fans are going to enjoy this Footkhana film since it's a spin on my Gymkhana series, integrating some of the best freestyle football players in the world."
