Two of the greatest left feet in the game have faced off like never before – and there was little to split Mo Salah and Lionel Messi when they came together for Pepsi’s new "Last Can Standing" commercial.
The ad sees the iconic forwards engage in a playful duel of passion and technique in the pursuit of a lone can of Pepsi.
"I’m very happy to see the partnership with Pepsi turn global, and I’m excited for what lies ahead," said Mo Salah.
The commercial launches Pepsi’s 2019 global football campaign under the brand’s new international platform and tagline, ‘PEPSI, FOR THE LOVE OF IT’, encouraging people to go all in for the things they love, brought to life through the brand’s passion of football.
Salah and Messi pull up to a remote petrol station, only to discover there is just one can left in the fridge.
What quickly unfolds is a series of action-packed trick shots and challenges as they go head-to-head for the beverage.
"It was a lot of fun to film this year’s commercial with Pepsi – it’s a concept with fun and football skills at the heart of it," said Leo Messi.
"I hope this year’s campaign continues to encourage football fans to embrace their passion and love of the game."
Pepsi is a proud sponsor of the UEFA Champions League.
