Argentina football team captain Lionel Messi's shadow is so massive that fellow football superstars like Didier Drogba cannot escape it, according to a latest airlines ad.
The premise of Turkish Airlines' latest clever ad, which hit YouTube on Friday, would likely be yet another viral success featuring Messi for the company.
Drogba can be seen travelling the world sampling exotic cuisines, but can't escape Messi's popularity as per the new ad, Mashable reported.
In December 2012, a Turkish airlines spot featuring Messi alongside Kobe Bryant hit 20 million YouTube views in just five days and was hailed by many as 2013's most clever ad. A follow-up spot released last winter featured Messi and Bryant taking dueling selfies also became an online hit.
And the latest spot featuring Messi and Drogba seems a worthy successor, the report added.
