🏟️ ICONIC STADIUMS || THEN & NOW 🕰️

Before the modern stands, the giant roofs and the streets we recognise today.

Football grounds have changed alongside the cities around them. Once peripheral areas became busy neighbourhoods. Open spaces gave way to housing, businesses and new roads.There are several examples of that transformation. 🏙️

Some stadiums grew enormously. Others already held huge crowds, with standing terraces accommodating more supporters than their modern seated layouts.

Ten iconic grounds. Decades of change. 👇🏼

🇮🇹 San Siro • AC Milan & Inter
Opened in 1926.
35,000 originally. Today: approximately 75,800.

🇪🇸 Santiago Bernabéu • Real Madrid
Opened in 1947.
75,145 originally. Today: approximately 83,000.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Stamford Bridge • Chelsea
Opened in 1877.
Its 1905 football redevelopment was planned for around 100,000 spectators. Today: 40,044

🇫🇷 Parc des Princes • PSG
First opened in 1897.
Around 3,000 in its original cycling venue. Rebuilt in its present form in 1972. Today: approximately 48,000.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Wembley
Original stadium opened in 1923.
127,000 official capacity then. The replacement stadium opened on the same site in 2007 with 90,000 seats.

🇪🇸 Camp Nou • Barcelona
Opened in 1957.
93,053 originally, later reaching 99,354 before the current rebuild. Latest confirmed operational capacity: 62,652 during construction, with around 105,000 planned upon completion.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Anfield • Liverpool
Opened in 1884.
Around 20,000 capacity during its early years, before Liverpool moved in during 1892. Today: 61,276.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Old Trafford • Manchester United
Opened in 1910.
Around 80,000 originally. Today: approximately 74,000.

🇩🇪 Westfalenstadion • Borussia Dortmund

54,000 originally. Today: 81,365 for domestic matches.

🇲🇽 Estadio Azteca

🇧🇪 EDEN HAZARD || ⚠️ BREAKING ANKLES 🪄

One of the greatest dribblers the Premier League has ever witnessed.

At his peak, Eden Hazard could take the ball and simply pass through entire teams.

One defender.
Then another.
Then another.

A drop of the shoulder, a sudden change of direction, ridiculous balance and defenders were left going the wrong way.

No unnecessary tricks. No wasted movements.

Just complete control of the ball combined with explosive acceleration, strength, balance and one of the lowest centres of gravity in football.

Players knew what was coming and still couldn’t stop it.

Ankles broken.
Defenders sitting down.
Entire defensive lines opened up.

He made the game play as it’s supposed to

From Lille to Chelsea to Real Madrid and Belgium, Hazard made beating players look effortless.

At his best, he wasn’t just one of the Premier League’s greatest ever dribblers. He belongs in the conversation among the finest dribblers football has ever seen.

Pure street football at the highest level. 🇧🇪🪄

⚫️🔵 INTER MILAN’S BALLON D’OR WINNERS 👑

Two players have won football’s most prestigious individual award while representing Inter Milan.

🇩🇪 Lothar Matthäus - 1990
🇧🇷 Ronaldo Nazário - 1997

Two legendary players. Two Ballon d’Or awards. Generations of greatness wearing the famous black and blue. ⚫️🔵

From Matthäus captaining West Germany to World Cup glory in 1990 to Ronaldo taking world football by storm in 1997.

Different generations. Different positions. The same Nerazzurri standard. ⚫️🔵👑

Who produced the greatest Ballon d’Or winning season for Inter Milan? 🗳️👇🏼

👑 PELÉ vs YASHIN || THE KING vs THE BLACK SPIDER 🕷️

Two giants of football’s old era. Two players who became the standard for their positions.

🇧🇷 Pelé one of the greatest attackers the game has ever seen.

🇷🇺 Lev Yashin widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time and still the only goalkeeper to win the Ballon d’Or. 🏆

One spent his career finding ways past goalkeepers.
The other built his legacy stopping the very best attackers in the world.

And when they came face to face, it was greatness against greatness.

The anticipation of Yashin.
The movement and finishing of Pelé.
The goalkeeper against the goalscorer.

But perhaps the best image is the simplest one: the two shaking hands and showing each other respect.

Two completely different roles.
Two icons of the same generation.
Two names that still define their positions decades later.

Pelé vs Yashin. ⚔️

Football royalty recognizing football royalty. 👑

Who wins the 1v1 in their prime? 🗳️👇🏼

⚔️ 1️⃣ 🆚 3️⃣|| FOOTBALL’S BEST ESCAPE ARTISTS 🪄

One player. Three defenders. No problem.

Some of the greatest players the game has ever seen turning impossible situations into moments of pure individual brilliance.

🇧🇷 Ronaldo Nazário
🇧🇷 Neymar Jr.
🇦🇷 Lionel Messi
🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo
🇧🇪 Eden Hazard
🇦🇷 Diego Maradona
🇳🇱 Johan Cruyff
🇫🇷 Zinedine Zidane
🇧🇷 Ronaldinho
🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé

Different generations. Different styles. Same problem: three defenders standing in the way.

R9 with the explosiveness and strength.
Neymar with the flair and creativity.
Messi with the close control and body feints.
Cristiano with the speed and power.
Hazard with the balance and flawless technical ability.
Cruyff with the intelligence and technical ability.
Zidane with the elegance and intelligence.
Ronaldinho with the imagination.
Mbappé with the explosiveness.
Maradona with the low centre of gravity and balance.

Sometimes the only option is to take them all on.

Who are you choosing to escape a 1 vs 3 situation? 🗳️👇🏼

🇸🇪 ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ || 45 🎂 || PUSKÁS GOAL 🚲

Happy 45th Birthday to Zlatan Ibrahimović. Celebrating with a goal you have to watch more than once.

November 14, 2012. Sweden 4–2 England.

Joe Hart comes out of his area to head the ball clear. Zlatan reads the flight, launches himself into the air and sends an overhead kick from 30 metres into the net.

The bicycle kick.
The distance.
The reaction inside the Friends Arena.

A moment of instinct and ridiculous technique that earned him the 2013 FIFA Puskás Award. 🏆

All four Swedish goals scored by Zlatan. And somehow, he saved the best for last.

Every angle gives you another reason to watch it again.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Zlatan!

Is Zlatan’s goal against England the greatest bicycle kick ever scored? 🗳️👇🏼
