Di Maria’s House Attacked
3 FebSuper scary times for Angel, Jorgelina & little Mia. They were at home having dinner on Saturday after Manchester United’s match vs. Leicester City when thieves tried to force their way into the house by smashing the patio doors in with scaffolding poles. Luckily, an alarm went off and the thieves fled empty handed. United’s security staff took the family to a hotel while the police are investigating and they’ve assigned them a guard detail. As you can imagine, they’re quite shaken up but thankfully everyone is safe.

Besitos!
1 MarI know it’s been ages since we had a Bits & Bobs post, but I thought you’d like to see some of Real Madrid’s bebes sharing the love. Tiny Mia Di Maria got smoochies from her pals Enzo Vieira and Zoe Lopez. Proud mami Jorgelina shared the pictures. So sweet! They should just build a nursery in the first team residence since we have so many babies and more on the way!

He’s Gone, Oh I, Oh I, I Better Learn How To Face It And More
22 JulThe Double As, as they were meant to be. Ah, it fills me with such sadness! Alvaro posted this with the caption (excuse the approximate translation: “Do not strive to make your presence noticed but your absence felt. Yours is going to be felt a lot. I wish all the best to the 5! See you soon, brother!” and then he added ” In bocca al lupo!!” which is Italian for ‘best of luck‘ WAH! Continue reading
