Now that you’re feeling suitably inspired, we're asking you to "Play like Pele."
We want you to recreate the Brazilian maestro’s famous skills, whether that's a brilliant dribble or his classic bicycle kick. One lucky winner will get the chance to meet and train with the legend himself in Barcelona. They'll also get to bring two friends to Barcelona with them for a weekend and training session.
The lucky winners will get to fly to Barcelona, where they'll be transferred to a hotel and given a football kit to train in. They'll take part in a training session on the following day, with the great man himself offering personal advice and coaching as he oversees their activities. It's an amazing prize and one that any true football fan would love.
All you have to do is take a photo or video of you channelling your inner Pele and send it to Snickers. Simply send your entries via the Snickers Ireland Facebook or their Twitter.
So what are you waiting for? This could be your ticket to meet a living legend and see if he can still skin a defender!
Play like Pele and win! Send a photo or video of you recreating one of Pele’s iconic kicks and you could score yourself a trip to Barcelona to train with the legend himself. See the Snickers Facebook page for more information. T&C’s apply.
