Messi In Motion

Louis Vuitton's new "Horizons Never End" travel campaign is almost a metaphor for Lionel Messi's plans following the end of his contract with PSG

LAST NOVEMBER, Louis Vuitton caused a frenzy within the football community by featuring Lionel Messi and his nemesis, Cristiano Ronaldo, in a campaign that saw the leading players facing off in a deadlock game of chess. While it ended in a stalemate, a winner eventually emerged; it didn't take long for one of them to prove his supremacy and that there could only be one winner.

Incidentally, the champion won more than just a tournament; he also bagged another campaign with the luxury house, but this time, on his own. Here, Messi, photographed by Glen Luchford for the "Horizons Never End" campaign, shows a different facet of his character.
