Chosen Video

For this chosen video, I've picked this video depicting the famous "Hand of God" goal by Maradona in the 1986 World Cup match against England, that was also mirrored by Messi for Barcelona in the match against RCD Espanyol.

Player of the Week


The professional player that I picked this week is Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona. He is an undeniably prominent asset to the team and is one of the best players of his generation. Being known to imitate Diego Maradona, whether consciously or not, he has been named his "successor" and was even nicknamed "Messidona" by the Spanish press. He has won the 2009 Ballon d'Or and the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or and has broken several records throughout his career.
