    Jessica outshone other celebrities, sporting or otherwise, on the red carpet at the prestigious event in Seville.
    And former Barcelona defender Bartra looked sleek too in a black suit – seemingly with nothing underneath his jacket.
    The couple are used to sharing glamorous snaps, a major reason Jessica has amassed 1.8million followers on Instagram.
    The 26-year-old has long been stuck with the label of “world’s hottest woman,” at least with her fans.

    And Jessica is also regularly called a “Goddess” as well as “unreal” and “absolutely gorgeous”.
    Bartra only confirmed his relationship with the Catalan model in January.
    And although they continue to beam in pictures together, the 32-year-old is having a less-rosy season on the pitch.
    Having rejoined Real Betis in the summer, the 14-cap Spaniard suffered a serious Achilles injury in October.

    Kevin de Bruyne is also on the listCredit: Getty
    Europe’s most popular players can earn tens of thousands of pounds just by posting on Instagram.
    A new study from Japan-101 looks at the potential social media earnings for some of the biggest stars in the Champions League.
    But just three Premier League players have made the cut.
    10 – Casemiro
    The five-time Champions League winner joined Manchester United as one of the best midfielders in Europe last summer.

    Although he has struggled to hit the ground running this season, Casemiro still has a huge army of loyal supporters – many of whom have loved him since his Real Madrid days.
    With 22.2million Instagram followers, the Brazilian has the potential to earn £10,617 with a single sponsored post.
    9 – Kevin De Bruyne
    Widely considered as one of the best players in the world, De Bruyne picked up his first-ever Champions League trophy just last season.
    He was one of the main men during Manchester City’s treble-winning campaign, also earning a spot in the PFA Team of the Year.

    Should he decide to do a sponsored post he could earn up to £18,921, according to the study.
    7 – Robert Lewandowski
    Lewandowski shot to stardom when he joined Borussia Dortmund in 2010, but established himself as one of the world’s best strikers during his time at Bayern Munich.
    He controversially missed out on winning the Ballon d’Or in 2020, when he scored an astonishing 55 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 games.
    Over the years he has accumulated 35.5m followers, meaning he could earn £20,326 per sponsored Instagram post.

    6 – Erling Haaland

    That means the 23-year-old treble winner has the potential to earn £11,333 from a post.
    5 – Antoine Griezmann
    The Frenchman has been among Europe’s elite since joining Atletico Madrid nine years ago.
    He experienced a huge dip in form after joining Barcelona in 2019, but returned to his best after re-joining Atletico last summer.
    Also a World Cup winner, Griezmann has an impressive 41.3m Instagram followers.
    The study suggests that he could earn a huge £31,730 per sponsored post as a result.

    4 – Toni Kroos
    Kroos is one of the most decorated players in world football, with five Champions League titles, three Bundesliga titles, three La Liga titles and a World Cup to his name.
    His outstanding career has seen him become one of Europe’s most popular players.
    The midfielder has 43.2m loyal followers, meaning he could earn £27,480 per sponsored post.
    3 – Paul Pogba
    The Frenchman shot to stardom during his first stint with Juventus.
    He then made a blockbuster £89m return to Man Utd, but struggled to hit the ground running.
    Pogba went back to Juventus on a free transfer last summer after his contract at Old Trafford expired, but various injury issues have limited his game time.
    At the peak of his career, the World Cup-winning midfielder established himself as one of the biggest personalities in football.
    That translated into a huge Instagram following, meaning he has the potential of earning over £50,000 per sponsored post.

    2 – Sergio Ramos
    The defender is widely regarded as a legend – especially in Spain.
    He has won two European Championships, the World Cup, four Champions League titles, five La Liga titles and two Ligue 1 titles since breaking onto the scene, making him one of the most decorated players of all-time.
    Ramos spent 16 years with Real Madrid before leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.
    Following two years in France he decided to move again, but despite receiving some lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, he returned to boyhood club Sevilla.
    With 61.9m Instagram followers, Ramos could earn £48,208 per post.

    The Misfits star seemed to be bearing up well to her location revelation as she stood smiling indoors with the sea behind her in Los Angeles.
    The social media sensation’s coastal confession even sparked a debate amongst her admirers about the best place to live.
    But after looking at her bronzed images, the verdict from her fans appeared to be it was not so much “where” you go but “with whom”.
    “Wish I was with you,” said one, speaking on behalf of many – who all felt they would be, er, Los in paradise with her in LA.

    He told Sky Sports: “The fans are emotional, of course they are.
    “‘They have travelled a long way, they spend a lot of money to come and watch us. I was just having a chat with one of them, I said we are giving everything. 
    ‘There is no need to panic, we are still in a good position in the league, we are still in the Champions League, Carabao Cup quarter-finals, there is no need to panic.
    “We got beat, we do apologise for that result, but the most important thing is that the lads are giving everything. We are giving more under the circumstances.”
