Lionel Messi’s famous bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been a busy man this season. Statistics aren’t recorded for bodyguards, but if they were Chueko would have as many tackles as a linebacker in the NFL.
Kai Havertz is a confirmed internet troll.

Star Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels couldn’t resist poking fun at the Premier League’s woes in Europe this week as four different EPL teams crashed out of their respective competitions.
Arsenal and Manchester City both suffered quarterfinal exits in the Champions League while Liverpool and West Ham fell short in the Europa League.
EPL fans have mocked the Bundesliga and other leagues for years now with the term “farmer’s league.” The joke is an insult about the league not being competitive as one team always wins it and overall, the league being worse.
Christian Pulisic was challenged to build his perfect player, and had a share of interesting picks for each category. He didn’t forget about his favorite USMNT teammate.
In a video for Soccer dot com, the AC Milan player was challenged to name players in different categories that would build into his dream soccer player.
Categories varied but were not exclusive to speed, passing, defending, shooting, strength. You get the gist.

It’s derby week in the MLS season and fans have already started to heat up the highly-anticipated match in Los Angeles. Literally.
A user on X went viral at the start of the week after posting a video of him burning a vintage (and probably very expensive) LA Galaxy jersey ahead of the derby between the seven-time MLS champions and LAFC this weekend.

An unreal clip of a Copa Peru game has surfaced which shows two teams battling on one of the worst fields you will ever see.
We joked back in March that the United States women’s national team facing Canada on a swimming pool was as bad as it gets, but apparently, we were wrong.
The Copa Peru game played in Puno, Peru, featured grass so overgrown that the ball would literally disappear in the greenery.
How can anyone play on this?
A postgame quote from Norwegian and Rosenborg striker Ole Saeter went viral after he said he planned to go home with his phone in one hand and his privates in the other.
Saeter, 28, opened Rosenborg’s season off with a bang scoring a blistering goal from long-range. His side went on to win 2-0 with the second goal coming late in the game.
OLE SÆTER BREAKS THE DEADLOCK WITH AN ABSOLUTE GOLAZO!!!

A Trinidad player in El Salvador has taken the modern world’s small-shin-guard-trend to a whole other level, using foam cups as protection in a professional game.

Jomal Williams, a Trinidad and Tobago attacker playing for L.A. Firpo in El Salvador, made headlines on Sunday after TV broadcast cameras caught the player replacing his shinguards for half-cut styrofoam cups before the start to a game.
The manager, Gabriel Álvarez, was giving him game instructions while he made the incredible switch.
Former Manchester City star Fernandinho had a humorous moment with the center referee during Athletico Paranaense’s 1-0 victory Wednesday night.
During the semifinal win the referee accidentally intercepted a pass from the Brazilian stopping the play and his side's attack. The blooper only got better with Fernandinho’s reaction to the referee’s error.

The wonders of autotune have forever changed the music landscape, now it’s made its way to the broadcasting scene.
In a hilarious video a commentator in Argentina didn’t realize autotune was turned on while calling an Argentina Reserve League game.
Excursionistas opened the scoring with a great cross and finish, but this goal will always be remembered for the autoned commentary.
