A new Pepsi ad has brought together legends Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, and Brazilian Ronaldinho ahead of the World Cup.
This according to many, is arguably one of the most Pepsi commercials.
Pepsi brought together an incredible cast of characters to support its latest advert for the ‘Thirsty For More’ campaign.
The trailer begins with the GOAT getting nutmegged before the star trio of Messi, Pogba, and Ronaldinho go on a redemptive nutmegging spree through the locals.
Social media football influencers ‘Receba’ Ferreira and Kaljit Atwal appear in the video alongside footballer insider Fabrizio Romano who spreads the word about the footy street challenge. All the while, Fatboy Slim’s 1998 hit “The Rockafeller Skank” plays in the background.
The video’s old-school vibes give World Cup fans instant memories of Pepsi and Nike’s fun and stylistic adverts back in the day.
The ad is directed by Barcelona’s multi-award-winning filmmaker Ernest Desumbila. Fans may also recognize the jersey worn by players, which pays homage to the iconic 2002 Pepsi football jersey.
