In this ad for Nike, Spain's soccer superstars take a few notes regarding Euro 2008. It might have influenced the star's performance. It certainly means something to know that Nike was the brand offering so much support.
During the tournament there was a competition waging between the teams' sponsors, Nike & Adidas. Analysts gave the edge to Adidas considering both finalists are equipped by them, but the Nike's seems to have won the battle.
In the ad called "Los 5 Magnificos" or "The 5 Magnificents", we see the 5 star players: Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Carles Puyol, Sergio Ramos and Fernando Torres.
I think they look pretty hot in that ad. Congrats on the win guys!
