Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois shows off cat-like reflexes in ping pong training drill ahead of Barcelona clash

Thibaut Courtois ramped up his preparations to face Barcelona as he took part in an intense reaction test which showed off his cat-like reflexes.

Working with Chelsea goalkeeping coach Gianluca Spinelli, the Belgian stopper focused on the orange and white balls launched in his direction as he looked to prevent any from passing him.

The aim of the game is to catch the ping pong balls and drop them into buckets either side of him at lightning fast speed and in the video uploaded to his official Instagram account, Courtois looked like a seasoned pro at the challenge.
