Neymar & Thiago Silva among PSG stars to feature in Emirates airline advert

A number of Paris Saint-Germain stars, including Neymar and captain Thiago Silva, have been filmed in a cringeworthy new advert for Emirates airline.

The first-team players can be seen acting as aviation staff on 'flight number 4-3-3' as they continue to fulfil commitments brought on by the airline's sponsorship deal with the French giants.

The advert begins with Neymar and  Silva posing as pilots as they give an announcement over the PA system, welcoming passengers to the flight.

Edinson Cavani and Marco Verratti are also seen on board, with the Italian midfielder unveiling a football before launching a flurry of keepie-ups.

The camera then switches to Emirates' flight attendants also juggling a ball before Verratti's team-mates Adrien Rabiot, Cavani and Neymar also perform tricks.

An in-flight entertainment system then comes into focus with programmes based on PSG players available on the flight. Options include 'The Godson', starring Verratti, as well as Cavani's 'El Matador'.

As the advert draws to a close, Verratti rips off his pilot's shirt to unveil the PSG home jersey before fans are reminded that in the unlikely event of some turbulence 'during the match' they should chant 'Ici c'est Paris!'.

Emirates first signed its deal with PSG in 2005, followed by a shirt sponsorship which started in 2006.
