Messi Trains In Signature Silo

Lionel Messi has been getting to grips with his new signature 'Messi15' silo as Barcelona train ahead of the Champions League Final in Berlin on Saturday. The showdown with Juventus will mark the beginning of the adidas Football revolution as Chaos, Control & the Messi15 all make a long awaited on-pitch debut.

adidas have laced their main man up in an exclusive silo to elevate him above the Chaos and Control tags into a category of his own. In amongst the ACE15 and X15 boots on show at Barcelona's Joan Gamper Training Ground this afternoon was the club's number 10 sporting his new work tools, personalised with his squad number and son's name 'Thiago'.

As with the vast majority of Messi's signature boots from previous seasons the Argentine looks to be wearing a slightly modified edition that features an alternative, smoother silver MessiTOUCH material on the upper of the boot although no stitching is present, a trait that Messi preferred on previous F50 generations. A variation of the rubber material also features on the heel of the boot, similar to the 15.2 takedown; on the standard issues that part comes away from the boot whereas Messi's version look to be fixed to the outsole.

Everything is in place for adidas, Messi has a copy of the script and all they're waiting on now is for him to score the winner and lift his fourth Champions League and that's exactly what he's good at it, that's how you earn signature silos in the first place.
