      Nando’s bosses closed their eaterie to make way for the high-profile guests – leaving hungry locals baffled.
      And chicken chain managers even cooked up a special menu for one of their favourite customers – titled ‘Grealish’s Festive Grub’.

      Invited guests to the Christmas knees-up couldn’t resist sharing snaps on social media.
      One picture showed the table groaning with huge platters of chips and chunky grilled halloumi with chilli jam.
      Bottles of Portuguese lager Sagres were seen scattered around the food, alongside orange juice and a pineapple and mango drink.
      Three Lions favourite Jack, famed for his low socks and massive calves, has often told of his love of Nando’s.

      Jack, in a white t-shirt and white zipped top, happily smiled for the camera.
      Meanwhile the 29-year-old Villa man posed in a black jumper and blue anorak after Monday night’s bash.
      Last month Jack and his City and Norwegian striker pal Erling Haaland revealed each other’s favourite grub.
      The England ace said the goal machine – famed for an unusual diet consisting of cow’s heart and liver – also likes focaccia bread and his own pasta, which has a creamy tomato sauce.
      Jack, 28, admitted he “does eat a lot of bad stuff”, as Erling revealed his mate loves nothing more than “Nando’s, McDonald’s and pizza”.
      The wing wizard, who signed for treble winners City from Villa in 2021, joked: “He’s just made me sound like the fattest footballer in the Prem!”
      Nando’s was contacted for comment. More

      But some of the players’ post-match meals do not seem like the food of champions.
      The iconic front three and midfielders Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Andres Iniesta all tucked into pizza after the final whistle.
      Suarez liked his with Caesar salad and Neymar would enjoy his with fruit.

      Busquets was similar but seems picky as it’s stressed on the menu he would only have pineapple and strawberry as part of his fruit salad.
      Nutella sandwiches are a surprisingly big hit in the Barcelona dressing room with it on the menu for Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique.
      Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto tucks into a mysteriously named “triple sandwich” that also includes chocolate and hazelnut spread.
      Javier Mascherano’s pasta and fruit seems to be the only healthy option coming from the kitchen.

      Zsíros Kenyér translates to ‘Fatty Bread’ and is a popular bar snack in Hungary.
      It consists of buttered bread topped with red onion – but Ferencvarosi’s version turned fans’ stomachs.
      They topped some rather sad-looking white bread with raw red onions, and even for 85p some said they would not go near the snack.
      One reacted saying: “That’s disgraceful.”

      And with the striker unhappy with the quality of fish on offer in Manchester, he has persuaded officials to source the fish direct from his homeland to ensure it’s up to scratch.
      The striker, who has 13 goals this season, now tucks into the fish each week to top up on vitamin D, B12 and selenium and iodine.
      A source said: “Haaland’s been banging on about the fish. He wanted salmon, so he made the nutritionist arrange for the best fish restaurant in Norway to have their kitchen staff fly over.
      “It’s cost an absolute fortune – but it’s the best salmon.”

      Haaland’s dedication to the game means he pays very close attention to his diet, consuming 6,000 calories a day.
      The Sun has previously told how he enjoys an unusual diet as he tries to keep himself in peak physical shape to terrorise defenders.
      He regularly downs a “magic potion” of cow’s milk smoothies laced with spinach and kale and enjoys feasting on cow hearts and liver.
      He also enjoys a pre-match lasagne cooked by his dad before a game.

      Erling’s dad Alfie said his son tried to follow a strict diet after seeing how eating healthily had allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to become one of the best players in the world.
      He said: “He was told a story by Patrice Evra about a lunch he had with Ronaldo and Cristiano had fish, nothing else. Erling now tries to do the same things because Ronaldo is 38 and still at the top of the game.”
      Victoria Braathen, UK director of the Norwegian Seafood Council, said: “I’m happy two of Norway’s most famous treasures have found each other in the UK. Our salmon is the world’s most popular fish, globally recognised for its quality and nutritious credentials.”
      Haaland also takes ice baths to recover after games and bans gadgets from his bedroom so his sleep is not affected.
      He will not play at Euro 2024 after Norway failed to qualify. More

      “Yeah, I order it in like massive batches. It comes frozen, I whack a load in the freezer.
