Five Footballer Friendships That Go Beyond The Game
Football is a game of friendship both for the fans and the players. Here is a list of some of the favourite bromances/ partnerships in the world of football.
Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku:
From goofy dancing and singing, 5-aside football, street basketball, workout sessions, Lukaku and Pogba have excited fans with their bromance on and off the football pitch.
Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori:
Both players started as younger stars at Chelsea Academy and have been BFFs since they were seven years old.
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez:
Messi and Suarez lifted 13 trophies together, including four LaLiga Santander titles and one Champions League. When Suarez was sold to Atletico Madrid for free in September 2020, Messi was the first to publicly criticise his club on social media.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo:
Ronaldo and Marcelo developed almost-instant chemistry on the pitch after Marcelo arrived at Real Madrid in 2012. Both players are very close off the field, spending time together with their families, making fun of each other, and copying goal celebrations.
Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho:
Senior man Kelz and Ndidi are constantly showing off their friendship and patriotism via social media. Recently, they took their bromance to a different level on a television commercial for DStv Compact to mark the start of the new football season.
