So our friends at Barca sent this cool video as part of the club’s new campaign to foster “healthy eating habits”. In it, Lionel Messi appears as a cross between the a 14-year-old version of himself and Tin Tin the detective. “I know that if I train and eat well, I will win the Ballon d’Or,” he drawls lazily, clearly unaware they would be using this footage again 10 years later. Gotta love the spirit, Leo… you made it!
Gerard Pique also appears – sans beard and swagger! “We are what we do, we are what we eat’ wants to raise awareness among young people and tell them that McDonalds is not the way to go. The campaign is organised by the FC Barcelona Foundation which stresses that good diet and regular sport practised by members of the first team (such as young hopefuls at La Masia and veteran players) will go a long, long way. What are you waiting for? Put away those greasy fries!
