The Daily Drool – Champions League – Group B – Celtic: Erik Sviatchenko

Hipster center back Erik currently plays for Celtic.  He has represented Denmark at the U18, U19,U20, U21 and senior level. He’s an interesting guy. He says his hobbies are art, music, literature and fashion. He’s not joking about the latter. Along with his brother Philip and his father, world renowned artist Sergei, he runs a men’s fashion blog (and models for it too!) called Close Up and Private.

Armani Made to Measure for Bayern München

Armani announced a clothing partnership with Bayern München last May. And yesterday, Armani released a short behind-the-scenes video of the team photo shoot completed on August 25.

Lots of enjoyable, quick shots. Lewandowski offering a wink. Reina with his aviators. Robben looking nervous. Götze stroking Lahm’s tie. No Xabi though, as this was pre-transfer. The good ol’ days.
