Regardless of who they support, most football fans would agree: meeting Lionel Messi, arguably the greatest player the beautiful game has ever seen, would be a dream come true.
Now, thanks to a new global challenge, that dream could become reality.
Messi alongside his sports drink brand Ms+ (or Ms+ by Messi) announced a new competition where the grand prize is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the Barcelona and Inter Miami legend himself.
The rules are simple: place a bottle of Ms+ on the crossbar of a goal, then knock it off with the ball in the most creative way possible.
Record your trick shot and upload the video to Instagram using the hashtags #OneShotToMeetMessi and #MasByMessiContest, and tag the official @masbymessi account.
While the judging criteria havent been fully revealed, a promotional video ends with the message: Messi is watching," strongly suggesting Messi himself could be selecting the winner raising the stakes for anyone thinking about entering.
Entries close on June 30, 2025.
Ms+ Spanish for more launched in June 2024 as Messis own line of performance drinks, developed in partnership with White Claw Hard Seltzer and the Ms+ Next Generation Beverage Co.
Designed for clean hydration, the drink includes a mix of minerals, electrolytes, and antioxidants, without the high sugar, artificial ingredients, or caffeine often found in other flavored beverages.
The drink comes in four flavours, each inspired by a milestone from Messis legendary career: Orange dOr (his eight Ballon dOr wins), Miami Punch (his move to Inter Miami), Berry Copa Crush (his Copa Amrica triumphs), and Limn Lime League (a nod to his Champions League legacy).
Speaking about the product, Messi said: Many flavoured drinks have high levels of unhealthy ingredients, so people who drink them consume more sugar, calories, artificial ingredients, and even caffeine than they realise. You shouldnt have to choose between better ingredients and better taste.
No doubt, it would taste even better if handed to you by the GOAT himself.
