Your support makes all the difference.It might have been filmed for little more reason than to bring attention to a sportswear brand, but it's impossible not to be impressed by Lionel Messi's skills in this video.
The set-up sees the Barcelona superstar hanging out on a training ground, apparently waiting for a shoot to get under way.
He finds himself standing by a table filled with drinks and fruit, and the latter catches his attention.
Apparently unable to resist any opportunity to practice his skills, and too impatient to wait for proper footballs to arrive, Messi does some keepy-uppys with an orange.
Unsurprisingly, he's flawless at it.
Messi has been out injured recently but it's hoped he could return in time to feature for Barcelona in El Clasico against Real Madrid later this month.
