Budweiser, the beer brand that sponsors Leo Messi, started an original campaign advertising following Pele’s record that the Argentine broke. Before the end of 2020, the ’10’ became the top scorer in the history of football in a single club and the brewery celebrated it in a curious way. All the goalkeepers for whom the Rosario scored a goal received two bottles commemorating this milestone.
Jan Oblak or Gianluigi Buffon posed with these two beers on social networks in their day, but a legend like Iker Casillas had not yet said anything on the subject. The former Real Madrid player, whom Leo scored 17 goals for throughout his career, did not comment until this past Saturday. The former goalkeeper has not hesitated to thank the gesture and joke with the forward through your Twitter account.
“I already thought they weren’t coming! But here is my personalized bottle. Congratulations Messi for your record with goal 644. I remember when you scored your goals 264 and 265 for me … Good game, good draw and the best thing, you never scored me again! “, the former Real Madrid wrote both on his Twitter account , as in his Instagram, dropping that so far the bottles had not reached him.
The FC Barcelona captain has not yet responded to this congratulation, but the one who did want to finish off was Gerard Hammered. The central Barcelona player, always a joker, did not hesitate to ‘hesitate’ to his former teammate in the Spanish team because of how much Leo has suffered throughout his career. “Iker, I guess you can’t fit all the bottles at home … send me some if that …“replied the defender.
It must be made clear that Budweiser did not give away beers for all the many that Rosario scored. The company wanted to commemorate its record and He caught two goals among all those who scored at home goalkeeper. In this case, from the ex of Madrid they took 264 and 265, as Casillas himself makes clear in his message of thanks.
Casillas-Messi, a rivalry of the time
However, as Piqué highlights, The former merengue suffered the ’10’ of Barcelona a lot in the Classics and it became his worst nightmare. In the 25 Madrid-Barça in which they coincided, the attacker hit 17 targets, a real savagery even for him. A tremendously interesting rivalry in which the Argentine won, but in which the fans were really the winners.
