Messing around? Wasim Akram and Lionel Messi pair up in this cute ad

Football lovers might be celebrating (or weeping) over the recent announcement of Ballon d'Or but sports fans from Pakistan have something else to smile about — a recent commercial featuring both Messidona and the Sultan of Swing, aka Lionel Messi and Wasim Akram.

The ad kicks off with Messi strolling through cobbled streets chomping on a bag of crisps only to be stopped by a roadside painter eyeing his snack. The painter distracts the footballer and eats all his chips.

Messi learns his lesson and waits for someone to try the trick on — guess who walks by casually, none other than our very own Wasim Akram in a floral shirt eating those same crisps.

Although Wasim's appearance is kind of blink-and-you'll-miss-it, we have to admit we were pretty glad that two great players of two popular games came together.

But did Wasim let Messi mess with him? Not so far!
