Coutinho, Willian star and Ronaldo back for classic Brazil advert for World Cup

Nike have produced a brilliant hype commercial for the Brazil national side as they gear up for the 2018 World Cup.

Starring the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Willian, the latest promo sees World Cup fever sweeping through Brazil, along with subtle echoes of the brilliant "Samba Airport" advert that preceded the 1998 tournament.

The headline act is the return after 20 years of one of the original alumni, with Ronaldo descending upon Rio airport once again to recreate his scene from the classic advert.

As you may recall, the original ad saw a star-studded Selecao squad of Ronaldo, Romario, Denilson and Roberto Carlos running riot in the departure lounge

There was even a little cameo from Eric Cantona, who had recently retired from football altogether at the grand old age of 30.

All together now: "O aria raio, oba oba oba!"
