Patrick Mahomes may need to make room on his BFF list — because after teaming up with Lionel Messi for a new Adidas campaign, fans are convinced the two sports titans have found their bromantic match.
In a 45-second high-energy ad from Adidas, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the global soccer icon break a serious sweat together — and the chemistry? It’s undeniable.
Gym Buddies With GOAT Energy
The commercial kicks off in the gym, where Messi playfully pushes Mahomes to run faster on a treadmill. The Super Bowl MVP rises to the challenge, picking up the pace as they cheer each other on.
“We all need someone to make us believe. You got this,” the tagline reads — a perfect nod to teamwork, motivation, and mutual respect.
They finish their workout with a celebratory dap, showing the genuine camaraderie that goes far beyond just sharing sneaker stripes.
Off-Camera Bond? Confirmed!
Later in the day, Mahomes and Messi proved their growing friendship wasn’t just for the cameras. They exchanged autographed jerseys and posed for photos with big smiles — clearly vibing with each other’s greatness.
Messi proudly held up a signed Chiefs jersey while Mahomes flashed a grin holding Messi’s Inter Miami kit. It was a moment fans of both footballs (American and international) won’t soon forget.
Sorry, Kelce — There’s a New Bestie in Town?
While Travis Kelce has long been known as Mahomes’ ride-or-die on and off the field, fans are joking that Messi just stepped into the BFF competition — and with some serious GOAT credentials.
“This is the crossover I never knew I needed,” one fan wrote.
“Mahomes x Messi is elite energy,” another added.
Adidas Scores With This Iconic Duo
The ad does more than hype up Adidas’ legacy — it bridges two worlds of sport in the most relatable way: showing that even the best need someone to push them further. Whether you’re a baller or a striker, greatness thrives in good company.
