Fútbol is life! Soccer legend Lionel Messi stars in Michelob ULTRA’s upcoming Super Bowl commercial. In a new teaser for the spot, the Inter Miami CF star is joined by Ted Lasso himself, Jason Sudeikis , who famously played the manager of the soccer club AFC Richmond in the hit Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso.
“[Chuckles] I’m gonna get out there. Nah, I’m not gonna get out there,” the Emmy Award-winning actor says with a can of beer in his hand as he watches Messi show off his fancy footwork at the beach.
The new “Get Out There” teaser with Jason follows the “GOAT vs. DOG” and “Stand-Off” teasers, featuring Messi, that were released by the brand last week. A new teaser starring another sports legend, former football player Dan Marino, dropped on Jan. 30. The Michelob ULTRA ad, which will air during the big game on Feb. 11, marks Messi’s first Super Bowl commercial.
