Time to smile 😁

Here are some very funny and interesting anecdotes about football teams around the world.

The UEFA cup final of 2000 was held between Arsenal and Galatasaray. The latter won the trophy on penalties. The whole team was celebrating in the dressing room when they heard a knock on the door. They opened it and saw Arsene Wenger with a bottle of champagne in each hand, he then said “I brought these thinking we would win but since you won, you deserve these.”

Messi's youth coach always tells a story, probably apocryphal, that I like about how he got Messi to make headers.

The coach prefaces the story saying that little Messi was a really picky eater, but he eventually figured out that Messi had a weakness for alfajores (a lethally delicious confection made of cookies sandwiching dulce de leche, sometimes covered in chocolate). First he started rewarding Messi for all his goals with the treats, but Messi was quickly eating way too many to be healthy for an athlete of any age. But the coach knew that Messi wouldn't make a goal with his head, so he switched it so Messi could only get a treat, but this time two of them, if he made a header. Next game, Messi dribbles through everyone, goes up the goal, chips the ball and heads in -- and then looks right at the coach and holds up two fingers.

In January 2017, Ronaldo won FIFA's 2016 best player of the year for the fourth time, beating out Lionel Messi.
