FC Barcelona is a team most associated with success in football and with 26 league titles and 5 Champions Leagues to their name, it is for good reason that their name has become synonymous with success since the turn of the century.  With the likes of Ronaldo (R9), Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Xavi and Messi among their ranks over the last few years, Barcelona can credit their success to the likes of these once-in-a-generation players who helped make the club what it is today.  Funnily enough, today we have a mystery for you that does not have to do with the success of Barcelona but rather with the hands of a current and two former Barcelona players. I know what you're thinking…what could possibly be the mystery involving a couple of hands of some players? Well, stick around as we try to crack this case together.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most hard-working players we have ever seen in the game's history. I mean, we’re talking about a guy in his late 30s with the body of a 20-something-year-old. The other day, we talked about how this guy has been playing at the topmost level for years with an incurable condition. He is out of this world!  

Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet, work ethic, discipline, and mentality… are all second to none in the game of football. And so, are you surprised that he trained himself to be really fast by racing fast cars?  The Manchester United man is one of the fastest footballers in the world. Even at 37, he will outrun some of your favourite players in the Premier League. 

On his second Old Trafford debut, he recorded an insane 34.20 kilometres per hour top speed and was the second-fastest player on the pitch that day.   That top speed still stands as one of the fastest by a player in the just concluded Premier League season. Do we have to remind you that this guy is 37 years of age?!  

All this is down to how much training and discipline he has subjected his body to over the years.   An example of that insane training? Racing with fast cars.

We know you've heard of bizarre events in the world and also in football. But have you heard about the time the World Cup trophy was stolen? Okay, actually, we mean the "times". Oh, that's right, the World Cup trophy has been stolen on two different occasions.  In this video, we'll be telling you about how it happened on both occasions, as well as a bit of history about the trophy. So do sit back, as we take you on this fun ride through time.

The transfer market is really heating up, and top clubs are already signing players to strengthen their squads. Well, apparently all top clubs except Man United. We mean, take a look at Manchester City, for example, they already signed Haaland. Liverpool signed Nunez and Carvalho, and Spurs and arsenal already signed players as well. But unlike other managers who are strengthening their squad, Eric Ten Hag doesn't seem too interested in doing that.  But do you know what he appears to be more interested in? Now, wait for it. It's the grass.

Arsenal had a very good experience with a midfielder named Vieira, so 17 years after he left, they decided to sign another midfielder with the same name. The North London club just announced Fabio Vieira as the latest Gooner after paying 40 million euros to bring him over from Porto. Today, we want to get to know this guy. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Fabio Vieira.

If you’re a football fan, you should already know at this point that Cristiano Ronaldo almost always has the last laugh. You call him finished, he’ll just go on and score a hattrick in the next game. Call him a dinosaur, he’ll just go on and break another record. Call him the problem of the club, he’ll just go ahead and become the only player from that same club to make the PFA Team of the year.  Basically, just be very careful when you mock the Portugal captain, he always has a special way of shutting his haters up. Diego Simeone can give you his firsthand account of how mocking Cristiano Ronaldo backfired in just a matter of weeks.  But well, that is not the South American we are interested in in this video. Today, we’re focusing on Shakira who was guilty of mocking CR7 back in 2011 and was shut up just minutes after.

When nature calls, you have literally no other option than to answer.   But what if nature calls when you’re right in the middle of a game as a professional footballer? What do you do? Listen, you still have to answer. And we’ll look at how some players have answered nature’s call in the middle of football games.  Here are 6 footballers who have had to use the toilet in the middle of a match.

Most footballers hit the big stage at a very young age and so, we get to see them go from boys to men on our screens. Some people had a smooth and almost unnoticeable transition, while some others got hit extra hard by puberty.  Here are 8 footballers whose puberty hit really hard.

Manchester City just added one of the best players of the new generation to their squad. Along with Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland is already tipped to take over the thrones of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the coming years.  So, whatever club you support, you just have to admit that Manchester City are really lucky to call this lad their own. And the irony of it is that they may have to thank a legend from across town for the quality they are getting in Erling Haaland.  At this point, it is no longer news when a new generation player names Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol. But it seems like the Man United superstar has had more influence on Haaland’s career than the average rookie.  First of all, Erling Haaland himself once said in an interview that CR7 has always been his role model and he pretty much owes his career to him.

The England national team is one of the biggest and most star-studded national teams in the world. Almost every footballer who is eligible to play for them prays and hopes to one day get a call-up.  But there has been quite a number who have had the opportunity to play for the Three Lions and have turned it down. Here are 10 footballers who chose not to play for England.
