The most popular sporting event in the US is just 2 weeks away! A common question on every sports fan’s mind would be whether Lionel Messi will be a part of Super Bowl LVIII, in some way. The Inter Miami ace has wowed the US audience since his arrival last year. In such a short period, the Argentine has emerged as one of the most popular sporting entities in the country. However, Inter Miami’s tight schedule does raise questions about his involvement, despite his recent Super Bowl Ad surprise. The Super Bowl will be on February 11th.

Inter Miami, on the other hand, has two crucial matches ahead and before the mega event. They have a match against the Japanese side Vissel Kobe on February 7th, the side where Lionel Messi’s ex-teammate, Andres Iniesta, played for 5 seasons! Following the game, they will undergo a 12-hour journey back to the USA on either February 8 or 9. Even if Messi visits the Super Bowl, he will likely miss the training sessions for the next game against Newell’s Old Boys. That is scheduled on February 15th and it has a special significance for Messi itself, as that’s his boyhood club. Another factor to note is Inter Miami’s poor pre-season so far.

They have been winless in both games against El Salvador & FC Dallas. Expectations are high, this time around & coach Tata Martino will be wanting to overturn this bad phase as soon as he can. Hence, could he consider letting his prized asset not train and permit him to attend Super Bowl LVIII? It does seem unlikely. But don’t be disappointed as the Super Bowl Ad featuring the 8x Ballon d’Or winner turned out to be an instant hit!

The Lionel Messi dilemma could be ‘worth the wait’, after the $14 million commercial!

Last night, Super Bowl fans were treated to a pleasant surprise as Lionel Messi made his first-ever NFL-related appearance. The teaser for the upcoming Super Bowl showcased the soccer icon on a beach, ordering a drink from Michelob Ultra. He pointed toward the beer tap faucet and while the bartender was filling the glass; the beer ran out.

The ad quickly shifted to the tagline, ‘Don’t Run Out, Order Now’, alongside the caption, ‘This #SuperBowlLVIII, Messi proves that a Superior Light Beer is worth the wait.’The production cost of the advertisement is a staggering $14 million! Hence, it begs the question of why Anheuser-Busch, Michelob Ultra’s parent company would sanction such a high-profile commercial, if the star wouldn’t attend the Super Bowl, in the first place, or would he?
