The latest celebrity-studded PEPSI ad features Paul Pogba, Raheem Sterling, Mohamed Salah, and Lionel Messi in the main roles.
The well-known beverage company is known for drawing some of the best football talents, and this is evident in its Player Never Stops video.
Lionel Messi, the Barcelona legend, arrives first, snatching the final can of Pepsi MAX before his rivals vie for it.
In the ensuing confusion, Salah pretends to be a selfie enthusiast in an effort to obtain the drink, but Pogba shoots a breathtaking picture that knocks it from his grasp.
One of Salah’s many ingenious abilities is his ability to juggle a ball on top of another ball on his foot.
After that, Sterling, a Manchester City player, performs a spectacular flip over a security guard while controlling the ball and an expensive can.
After watching a virtual reality segment where Messi displays his incredible dribbling skills, the group unwinds and each enjoys a drink.
Director Henry Scholfield, who has made short films for artists Stormzy, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa, lauded the football players’ acting skills.
“Each brought a superbly magnified version of their off-the-pitch personality to the place, as effortlessly and skillfully as they would on the field,” he said.
All of our post-production partners, Pepsi MAX, and our creative team were a pleasure to work with. They all performed exceptionally well, which is why the film is so epic.

Online users also showed their appreciation for the campaign.
“Pepsi do really make the best ads,” Owuraku tweeted.
Another person commented, “This Pepsi commercial just proved Messi isn’t human.”
One City fan, though, wrote: “Man like Sterling.”
