Video: Lionel Messi takes on Eden Hazard in the new FIFA ’15 Christmas ad

Things get very personal indeed as Barcelona take on Chelsea.

Things get very personal indeed as Barcelona take on Chelsea.

The game may be great, but we’re not exactly feeling the love for this Christmas-themed ad for EA Sports’ finest.

Maybe it’s early onset seasonal fatigue, or the fact that two of the world’s best footballers – Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard – would hardly surround themselves with biscuits or cakes, talking or otherwise.

It could be the boring musical standard with AWFUL football-themed lyrics shoehorned in, or the fact that we need to take things a whole lot less seriously.

Either way, this is more miss than hit. Humbug.
