A first look at Nike’s Euro 2016 ad, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo

A longer version will follow

We’re more than used to the idea of major football tournaments bringing big-hitting Nike adverts, and Euro 2016 is no exception.

In the past we’ve had next goal wins and Wayne Rooney living in a caravan, but the latest effort is a change from the norm.

We’ve only got a teaser so far, but we know it features Cristiano Ronaldo in a Freaky Friday scenario, and that’s a decent start.

Dubbed ‘The Switch’, it sees the Portugal and Real Madrid star switch bodies with a young ball-boy after a clash of heads, and…well…you can probably work out the sort of thing that happens next.

The final version is sure to include plenty of other players who will be involved in Euro 2016, and you just know you’ll see it on TV plenty of times before the tournament gets underway in earnest.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to watch some Brazilians dribble a ball through an airport.

Once we’re done with that it might be time to revisit ‘Winner Stays On’ from the last World Cup.

Hey, we’ve got to find some ways to keep ourselves occupied before the actual football gets underway.
