I came across this post and it hit me deep. Former Juventus academy player Cendrim Kameraj shared a picture of him training alongside Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2018, and him now working in construction at 26 years-old.
Represented Switzerland and Kosovo internationally at youth level too. I know we always highlight the best young players who have made it or are coming up… But it’s also important to highlight the other side of the game too.
For many, it’s a reality. You may not make it on the pitch, but whatever you go on to do, you’re not a failure. I have so much respect for anyone who picks themself up and earns an honest living. People on the outside don’t know the how tough mentally that is, to be so close, to see people you played alongside making it.
Thank you for sharing your story, we are all with you. ❤️🫡

Absolutely awful news coming out this morning. I can’t believe I’m even typing this. Diogo Jota has sadly passed away in a car accident along with his brother. 💔
Only won the nations league a few weeks ago, and got married this week. Rest in perfect peace. Sending love to all his family, friends & team mates. ❤️🙏🏼

This is an amazing story. Meet Bryan Pereira, an U10 player at Craques Do Futuro in Brazil. He often plays his matches with his ‘tattoos’. 🇧🇷
These are actually just body paintings, which pay homage to his families’ Indigenous & tribal roots. He originates from a village in Aracruz, Brazil… and each individual painting has a meaning. ❤️
So nice to see a young aspiring player have the confidence to express who he really is & where he comes from. Doing his family proud… Keep shining 🫡🌟

19 year-old Désiré Doué really wore Neymar’s old signature Nike boots today… And scored in them, even hitting a Neymar-esque dance as his celebration too 🥹👟🕺🏽
Restoring that feeling his idol once gave at PSG 🫡

I know he’s no longer a rising baller… But seeing Alphonso Davies’ leg today in Bayern training shows the reality of ACL injuries. 🤯🤕
5 months ago, he tore his ACL during a game for Canada. This is how it now looks as he continues building towards his return. 😳
Injuries are really the loneliest times for players. Mentally so draining. Hoping to see him back to his very best as soon as possible 🙏🏽

Diogo Jota. From humble beginnings to the grandest stages of world football. His journey is a testament to everything he was. It all began at Paços de Ferreira, where a young Diogo first showcased his potential. But it wasn’t just his talent that set him apart, it was his heart. From there, he moved back to his hometown club Porto, alongside his younger brother Andre, with whom he shared everything… dreams, struggles, and victories. Together, they climbed the football ladder. Diogo then went from sunny Porto to the fields of the Championship with Wolves, where he became a club hero.
Next was Liverpool. That boy who once dreamed had officially become the man who achieved them. He would go on to win trophies with both club and country, and become a name known all across the world.
Football lost two incredible souls today. Rest in peace, you’ll never walk alone. Forever Young. 💔👑

Marcelo has just announced his retirement from football. The game has just lost yet another true icon. One of the greatest full backs of all time. The generation of players we grew up on is really coming to an end. Forever Young. 🥹👑

Pedri’s customised Adidas Predator boots that he wore last night… With ‘Predri’ and a ‘🍌’ emoji printed on 👀🥶
Predri is a play on his name + the model of the boots (Predators), and the banana emoji is a nod to his nickname ‘Mr Banana’ - as he is from the Canary Islands, which are known for exporting bananas 🍌
These go hard.

João Neves has really been running his tucked in shirt style since day one… But there’s actually a reason why 👀👇
Back when he was first playing football, he joined a grassroots team in the Algarve, Portugal. At this team, it was a rule that every single player had to tuck in their shirt.
Even after he joined Benfica’s academy… He continued to play with this tradition at every age group as he rose up all the way into the first team.
Even until this day, he will never step onto the pitch with his top untucked. From rising baller to world class… Nothing’s changed. Tradition. 👔

23 year-old Gerard Martin was in tears at full time tonight after Barcelona got knocked out… He really gave his all in the game. 2 assists from left back & a solid performance all 120 minutes.
Has been forced into the side after Balde’s injury recently… Just a few years ago he was playing in the Spanish third tier. Incredible story. ❤️

This is too wholesome… 23 year-old Gerard Martins’ grandparents arrived to the El Clasico Copa Del Rey final wearing his shirt tonight 🥹
A reminder that just four years ago, he was playing AGAINST Barcelona in this exact tournament, for third tier side Cornella. What a proud moment for his family. ❤️

Yesterday… Alessandro Bastoni named Lamine Yamal as the best player he’s ever faced. Tonight at full time, they swapped shirts, and Bastoni even put it on to wear it.
Game respects game. 🫡🤝

This is too funny… 16 year-old Reggie Walsh really wore these small shin pads for Chelsea’s game against Djurgården during the week where he came on in the last few minutes of the game… He even had Jadon Sancho spotting them and laughing after the game 😭🤣
Do you prefer smaller or bigger shin pads? 👀👇🏽
