Psychological Warfare: Thierry Henry (Barca) takes on Ryan Giggs (Manchester United) ahead of the Champions League final (video)

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

With just one day until the match of the season, the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United, and the advertisers are stepping up their promotional campaigns ahead of the showpiece event.

The first viral video is Reebok’s psychological warfare ad, that sees Thierry Henry and Ryan Giggs in a battle of one-upmanship before their meeting in Rome on Wednesday. Communicating through a variety of mediums including the I-Phone, the post and by special delivery, the pair go about needling away at each other in a cute, light-hearted manner.

Not looking to be left behind, Puma have called upon Barcelona’s duo of Samuel Eto’o and Seydou Keita to show off their latest football boots, the V1.08, in their latest ad campaign.

With Eto’o taking the lead role, the Cameroonian striker showed off his unique and alternative training methods that help make the striker quicker and sharper up-top.
