Barca Players Star in Brilliant Qatar Airways Ad - Football News

Club sponsor Qatar Airways have drafted in a few of Barcelona's top guns to star in their new advert. Granted, most corporate promo stuff involving footballers is pure cringe material but this Qatar Airways video is well worth a watch. Neymar, Messi, Iniesta and Busquets are all drafted in as Carles Puyol proves he really will head just about anything.

It's a pretty impressive line up of talent and even Gary Lineker briefly features. We've got a sneaky feeling the Neymar/Pique scene took a fair few takes to capture, you can by the look on Neymar's face. Messi as a dance coach - good, Iniesta and Busquets painting - very nice, Lineker driving a cab - also good but Carles Puyol headbutting a plant pot is phenomenal. You're lying if you say haven't already watched that back! A video this good deserves hefty amounts of screen shots. Enjoy.







There looks to be a quality level of team spirit amongst the Barca boys again this season and we reckon the arrival of Neymar has only added to the atmosphere in the changing room, he always looks up for a laugh, another big confident personality. A top video we think you'll agree, even the little features such as the Tiki Taka road signs are brilliant.







So what have we learnt? Just when we thought we couldn’t love Carles Puyol any more than we already do, he nuts a plant pot. That's what we've learnt. Almost as good as when he rocked up to do the normally suited and booted Champions League draw in a pair of old swimming shorts, scruffy trainers and a beautifully damp floppy barnet. Legend.
