​Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho have reunited in Pepsi's new advert, with fans questioning the video.

The former Barcelona teammates star in Pepsi's new advert, with fans online feeling nostalgic and slightly underwhelmed.

The video consists of a game of 'Pepsi Pong' - with Messi and Ronaldinho going head-to-head. 

Advert

Ronaldinho goes first and sinks in a shot, with Messi replying in sublime style (obviously with the aid of CGI...)

He knocks in the three balls with one shot, with the Brazilian applauding his effort.

The footage is accompanied with the caption: "Leo Messi x @10Ronaldinho - the reunion we've all been waiting for."

The 41-year-old also shared the clip online, tweeting: "Making magic with Leo Messi and my new favourite game."​​

The edit may not be to everyone's liking, but people on social media loved the link-up between Messi and Ronaldinho.
