LIONEL MESSI has joined Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudekis and NFL icon Dan Marino in a football-themed advert for the Superbowl.
The World Cup winner is the main star of the ad, showcasing his iconic skills on a beach in front of awestruck fans.
After approaching a bar, Messi asks for a Michelob Ultra beer but is stopped when the tap breaks.
The barmaid in the advert then asks if he would like a different beer, but the 36-year-old responds: “No no no, Michelob Ultra.”
Fans have been left stunned by Messi’s appearance in the advert, with some highlighting his apparent reluctance to speak in English.
One person tweeted: “Messi’s utter refusal to force out even a ‘hello’ and do a Superbowl ad in pure Rosarino Spanish is just awe-inspiring.”

According to The Mail, the Michelob Ultra Superbowl advert cost around £11million to make.
It also features Ted Lasso star Sudekis, who joked that he and Messi ‘go way back’.
