Malta became the perfect backdrop for football juggling expert Philip Warren Gertsson, and his amazing photos and videos are blowing up Instagram.

The Sweden-based Norwegian-Filipino has been football-freestyling since he was 14 and has more than 125,000 followers on Instagram. At age 26, he’s got several football freestyling championship titles under his belt and now works for Unisport, an online sports retail store. 

His latest exploits brought him to Malta where he’s been seen around the island wowing passers by with his slick tricks.  

Here he is outside the Cathedral in Mdina…

…before enjoying the silent city’s narrow alleyways 

Here’s his token Riviera shot teasing an upcoming video

Not sure where this is, but best turn on the sound for the full experience

Here he displays perfect balance in St Julian’s

And this is him taking a break alongside a traditional Maltese door in Sliema

As we said a while back, Malta really is the perfect place for YouTubers.
