Budweiser celebrates Messi’s 644th goal by sending customised bottle to every goalkeeper he scored against

Lionel Messi made history last week with his 644th goal for Barcelona FC.
To mark the moment, Budweiser created a custom bottle for each of Messi’s 644 goals — and sent them to the 160 goalkeepers Messi scored the goals against including Juventus’ Gianluigi Buffon.
Messi’s tally moved him past Pelé on all-time list for most goals with a club.
“In this game, no goal is easy,” Messi says in an ad posted by Budweiser.
“In this game, no goal is easy”
Which is why we’ve created a custom bottle for all 644 goals Leo Messi scored. Yes, that’s 644 unique bottles.
