How much do you love Lionel Messi? A little? A lot? Possibly too much? Not even a little bit? A decidedly unhealthy amount? You have a Messi shrine in your closet that features his picture in a heart-shaped frame, surrounded by candles?
However much (or not much) your love for Messi, you still don't love him as much as this dude, who swam to Messi's yacht in hopes of meeting Messi and getting a picture.
Gerard Pique is Catalan, born and bred. He came up through Barcelona's famed "La Masia" academy and his grandfather was a vice president of Barcelona. Now, Pique occupies an arguably more important role at Barca: central defender. This has worked to his advantage in many ways. It granted him access to pop star Shakira, his romantic partner. It also made him a lot of money. But just how much? How much is Gerard Pique's net worth?
Neymar scored 31 goals in 49 appearances for Barcelona last season, helping ensure a La Liga and Copa del Rey double for the club, but the Brazilian captain hasn’t cracked UEFA’s list for the top 10 players in Europe.
Well this is awkward. Barcelona and Real Madrid have gone and turned up in the same shirt.
The La Liga winners and the Champions League winners both unveiled their away kits for the upcoming season last week, and it looks like they got the same person to design them and he didn't feel like making two jerseys so he just made one and gave it to both teams.
Nike (Barcelona) and Adidas (Real Madrid) really should have checked with each other before making the new kits.
Some great players are simply synonymous with their actions on the pitch. Andrea Pirlo is heralded as the world’s greatest direct free kick taker, Lionel Messi is unsurpassed when it comes to dribbling and Cristiano Ronaldo’s right foot is a bonafide deity.
For Luis Suarez, his reigning domain is certainly more niche but no less impressive. No one hits a side volley quite like the Uruguayan number nine.
Such has been the ease with which Neymar’s transitioned to life in Barcelona that it’s difficult to imagine the Brazilian captain ever struggling following his move from Santos in June 2013.
However, Neymar has revealed to TV Globo that his first days at the Camp Nou were riddled with fright and nerves.
Between now and August 31st, expect to hear an incredible amount of noise regarding speculative transfers, rumors spun by players’ agents and utter nonsense from tabloids trying to sell papers. It's the summer transfer window!
It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. Primarily, it’s the absolute worst. Especially if, like me, you’re a supporter of Newcastle United and seemingly about to lose every player in your squad.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear before we begin: this isn’t about the soccer. I love Messi when he plays soccer. Messi lights up the world and makes my day better when he has a ball at his feet. This isn't even really about Messi. It isn't his fault Barcelona initiated a tone-deaf social media campaign to support him after he got convicted of tax fraud. It's Barcelona's fault. And now they've gone and made it worse.
Lionel Messi was convicted of tax fraud earlier this week and sentenced to two years in jail. He will most likely not serve any of that, as he is a first-time offender. For whatever reason, the powers that be in Barcelona's marketing department decided that, despite being an uber-wealthy, tax-dodging international superstar, Messi needs some sympathy.
Barcelona and Spain National Team midfielder Andres Iniesta is one of the best in the world at his position. He is also one of the best in the world at getting that money. But just how much money does he get? We broke down Andres Iniesta's net worth and salary.
Andres Iniesta's net worth is approximately $90 million, according to celebritynetworth123.com.
