Santi Cazorla's ability to superbly conduct a header challenge with his Arsenal teammates in a swimming pool was so impressive, it left Hector Bellerin feeling the need to apologise after he messed up a similar one.

While that attempt certainly went well, another clip of the squad trying to carry out the challenge didn't quite end in success after Bellerin failed to head the ball back to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the middle.

The defender posted the clip onto Twitter, which showed how his Arsenal teammates reacted when he couldn't control the ball with his head.

Next to the video, the 20-year-old wrote: "Messed it up.. Sorry boys".

The north London side then face French giants Lyon and German club Wolfsburg in the Emirates Cup in late July before taking on Chelsea in the Community Shield on August 2.
