New Year & Holiday Fun

Hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve and have been enjoying the day today. As promised, a bumper crop of what various ‘ballers have been doing on their holidays. There have been engagements, baby announcements, singing in the mirror while dressed in a towel (Cristiano), blue gradient shoes (Sergio), celebrating on a camel (Mateo & Lukita) and a rather ungracious joke about a rival (Toni Kroos, being a bit rude, IMHO).  Let’s dig in! (It’s long so be prepared!)

Happy Halloween!

Although he posted it early, I can’t help but feel this is Cristiano’s costume and in my mind, it’s clear who he is this Halloween…

La Undecima wasn’t the only good thing that happened on Saturday – Nacho & Maria’s new baby arrived! They’ve only called him (I think it’s a him!) Mini Nacho so I’m guessing that they named him after his daddy – that would make him José Ignacio Fernández Cortes. Big sister Alejandra will now have a playmate. Congrats to the happy family.

But then there were two more surprises. First off, guess who got married?

The FInal Final Pre-Sevilla Session & Happy Papi’s Day

Okay, the mothership was full of shit yesterday. Today was the final training session. Sigh.

While You’re Waiting For The Match To Start…

Our bodies are a blank canvas and underwear is the first thing we put on, so why not start the day well and add a splash of colour to your life! @cr7underwear #cr7underwear

Okay, the universe obviously hates me. Zoolander came to the Bernabeu but THE TEAM WASN”T THERE! WTF, WORLD?!

Final Training Of The Year & Holiday Wishes

Sese joined the team for the first part of the session today. Can’t wait to see what he wears for New Year’s Eve. Undoubtedly something with a hedgehog on it while Pilar will be in animal print.

The Winners Return & The Newest Muppet Baby

The team arrived back in Madrid this morning in what is essentially a drive by as they have the Audi Cup in Munich on August 4th & 5th.
