Messi video splits fans

It’s certainly among the best bottle flip challenge entries to be submitted.

But is it real? Some, knowing what Messi is capable of, think so.

But others aren’t convinced, with one fan suggesting that the bottle changes speed while landing.

Ultimately, while it’s possible it was digitally altered, there’s every chance Messi really did pull it off.

The video is similar in mystique to the famous Ronaldinho video from 2005, in which the former Brazil star repeatedly smashed a football against a crossbar in a Nike advert.

That video became the first on YouTube to reach 1 million views.

Sceptics said it was fake, but many were ready to give Ronaldinho the benefit of the doubt.

Ronaldinho, like Messi, could do pretty much anything he wanted with a football.

And he was so well loved that many didn't want to think that the video wasn't real.
