Manchester City are still on track to potentially obtain multiple pieces of silverware this year. However, the Premier League leaders are looking to take this a step further and pick up the most challenging prize of all....by competing in a series of challenges against current European Rugby champions, Saracens.
In the fifth episode, 'The Cross Bar Challenge', Manchester City players have to see if they're able to hit the crossbar, despite the goal getting smaller after every attempt.
Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho, Nicolas Otamendi and Danilo lead the line for City, whilst Jamie George, Schalk Burger, Ben Spencer and Richard Barrington represent the Sarries. Ex-Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given and former Saracens player Jim Hamilton act as captains for their respective teams.
Nicola Fitton, Managing Director for Betsafe UK, Ireland and ROW, also added: "Football vs Rugby is a debate that is had throughout the UK.
As Manchester City and Saracens are both at the top of their respective sports, we wanted to push them both as far as we could to find out if they have what it takes to Overcome The Odds in a series of fun and engaging situations, which will be unveiled across the next few weeks. Betsafe are immensely proud of our association with both clubs."
