However, soccer fans had another reason to enjoy the game. As usual, during halftime the TV broadcasts showed expensive commercials and Lionel Messi was present. The Argentine forward has been living in America since July 2023, when he agreed to join Inter Miami of Major League Soccer, and for the first time he was part of the Super Bowl as a local celebrity.

Leo appeared in a commercial for the Michelob Ultra beer company. There he is seen on the beach, approaching a bar to order a beer. However, the waitress runs out of Michelob Ultra and, while she tries to solve the problem, the forward takes advantage of the time to have fun with a ball.

The commercial also features Ted Lasso TV series star Jason Sudeikis and NFL legend Dan Marino, who throws the ball to Messi from a boat stopped near the shore. Finally, it all ends when the waitress tells the Argentinean player that his beer is ready. He then quickly puts the ball down and walks over to the bar to enjoy his drink.

People's reactions

After the commercial appeared on TV, social media users made all kinds of comments about Lionel Messi's participation. Some enjoyed it, such as: "Best commercial for ME, so far, is the Messi x Marino Michelob!!!! I'm not even a huge Messi fan but obv I love Football", while others were very critical: "Hot take: I think Michelob Ultra's Super Bowl ad is a miss. It kinda falls into every SB ad trap. Celebs... who barely touch the beer. Cool visuals... without the beer. People will say "did you saw the Messi commercial?" and totally forget the brand".
