Didier Drogba and Lionel Messi battle it out in new Turkish Airlines advert

NEWS/TURKEY           

Two global football stars feature in the latest advertisement by Turkish Airlines. Chelsea striker Didier Drogba and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi are shown battling it out to reach far flung corners of the globe first as part of a campaign called Widen Your World.

The light-hearted one minute broadcast has chalked up over 34 million views since its release last week. Kicking off in Istanbul, Drogba is seen increasingly frustrated as he travels from one exotic location to the next to sample different cultures and cuisines only to find the Argentinean star’s beaten him to it, with Messi’s photo already adorning the walls of the restaurants. 

Under the strapline, “We fly to more flavours than any other airline”, the footballers travel to Nepal, Japan, Siberia, and the Saharan desert.
