      He’s deputy Prime Minister of his native United Arab Emirates, minister of presidential affairs, as well as member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi.
      The 52-year-old Sheikh is even buddies with Richard Branson, owning a large stake in the British entrepreneur’s Virgin Galactic spaceship company.
      And if that’s not enough, his Premier League team are bossing English football at the moment.

      But who is Mansour and what does he spend his money on?
      Let us invite you into his world of wealth, including a £400m yacht he let one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars borrow.His football teams…
      When you’re a billionaire, buying into sports franchises is the done thing.
      In 2008, Mansour bought Man City with his Abu Dhabi United Group for £210m and has ensured The Citizens buy the best talent in the world.

      But the Sheikh is a shrewd businessman and doesn’t throw his money away that easy.
      In fact, the day City signed Gareth Barry for £12m from Aston Villa, he also made a $1.4bn profit selling a stake in Barclays he bought months earlier.
      Mansour launched a second team in the MLS in New York in 2013, luring Frank Lampard and David Villa to New York City F.C.
      And he expanded his City Football Group portfolio and owns stakes in clubs in the United States, Australia, India, Japan, Spain, Uruguay, China, Belgium and France.

      Looking at Mansour’s prized yacht is enough to make your eyes water… with tears of joy and wonder.

      The fifth largest super yacht in the world, it’s an absolute BEAST. Named Topaz, the vessel is a 482ft and was custom-built in Germany by Lurssen Yachts and designed by Tim Heywood in 2012.
      It has 8 floors, two helipads, three swimming pools, a gym, jacuzzi and even a cinema.

      Right before Brazil kicked off their 2014 World Cup campaign, Leo DiCaprio was spotted hosting a party for 21 of his pals on the Topaz.
      Mansour loaned it to the Oscar-winning actor who soaked up the carnival atmosphere in Sao Paulo with his mates.
      Now, that’s not a bad number to have on speed-dial.

      It was also once reported that Mansour had to refuel his yacht when he docked at Marmaris port in Turkey.
      It was said to have cost him £380,000 to fill up the 730,000 litre tank, and that took 5 hours!His cars…
      Mansour owns a 5 per cent stake in Ferrari, which he bought in 2005 with the idea of bringing Formula One to the United Arab Emirates.

      His £91m investment worked, and ever since 2009 the world’s leading drivers have gone to Abu Dhabi for their annual Grand Prix.
      Alongside Ferrari, Mansour has a 9.1 percent stake in Daimler AG (they own Mercedes).

      He’s also owned a fleet of the world’s most astonishing cars.
      In his collection he’s had a Mercedes SLR-McLaren (£350k), a Lamborghini Reventon (£840k) and a Ferrari Enzo (£2.5m).
      Like Floyd Mayweather, Mansour also loves Bugatti Veyron and has 5 of them starting with a value of £1.1m.

      To top off his exquisite collection, he has a Porsche 911 GT1, which is worth around £3 million.
      After all, Mr. Mansour is a petrol head…

      The mansions…
      Being a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family allows you certain privileges, including your own palace.
      Sheikh Mansour is part of the Al Nahyan family, who have a huge residence in the city.
      latest football news
      Private functions for political leaders – including Barack Obama – have been organised there.
      Back in 2016, Mansour reportedly snapped up a £42m 20,000 acre Spanish villa in south west Spain.

      The private property, called Los Quintos de San Martin, is near the small village of Valencia de las Torres.
      Mansour and his family have been known to stay at the hotel they own called The Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.

      Opened in 2005 for a cost of £2.2m, it’s been described as the world’s only real seven-star hotel.
      There are 394 rooms, including 92 suites and 22 residential suits, which are mostly furnished in gold and marble.
      Sheikh Mansour has his own penthouse suite in the Emirates Palace
      Mansour is said to take advantage of the penthouse floor, which boasts 6 Rulers’ Suites that are reserved exclusively for dignitaries.
      Fun fact; the Fast and Furious 7 film was partly shot there too.

      His other interests…
      Nice homes, cars, hotels and football aren’t the only things that make Mansour tick.
      Educated at Santa Barbara College in California, USA, he has investments in around 50 companies worldwide.

      One of his ventures includes the commercial spacecraft group, Virgin Galactic with Richard Branson.
      He is also chairman of the Emirates Horse Racing Authority, boss of Sky News Arabia and patron of the Zayed Annual Half Marathon.

      Getting personal…
      The Sheikh keeps his personal life… well, personal.
      But we do know he has two wives and 6 children.
      He first married Sheikha Alia bint Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed in the mid-1990s. They had one son together.
      Mansour then married Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, his second cousin once removed.
      She’s a powerful woman in her own right, being president of the Dubai Women Establishment.
      She has two daughters and three sons by Mansour.
      And one more thing…

      If you think having around £17bn in your bank account isn’t bad – wait till you hear how much he stands to inherit.
      The Al Nahyan family’s wealth is believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £560bn.

      However, that said, it’s an inheritance he must share with his five brothers.
      But you have to imagine – with Mansour at the helm – Man City’s future certainly looks rosy. More

      Biggest bromances in football, including Rice and Mount and Messi’s emotional note when Suarez left Barcelona

      by

      THESE are the ballers who became bezzies.While there are relationships in any team, from centre-back partnerships to strike duos, this lot took things much further.

      Here, SunSport rounds up football’s biggest mates.Messi & Suarez
      In the summer of 2020, Uruguay ace Luis Suarez said an emotional goodbye to his team-mates and cleared out his locker in the dressing room after six seasons at the Nou Camp.
      He was joined by an emotional Leo Messi, who slammed the club’s treatment of his pal in the past, to wish Suarez all the best at rivals Atletico Madrid.
      Messi even took time to share a snap of the pair together one final time in the dressing room, and you can bet there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
      He captioned the photo: “I was already getting the idea but today I entered the locker room and the card really fell.
      “How difficult it is going to be not to continue sharing the day to day with you, both on the pitch and outside. We will miss you so much. It was many years, many mates, lunches, dinners … Many things that will never be forgotten, every day together.
      “It will be strange to see you with another shirt and much more to face you. You deserved to be fired as what you are: one of the most important players in the club’s history, achieving important things both as a group and individually.

      “And not to get kicked out like they did. But the truth is that at this point nothing surprises me.
      “I wish you all the best in this new challenge. I love you very much, I love you very much. See you soon friend.”
      Later that summer Messi shocked the world by announcing he wanted to quit the club himself. Eventually he stayed, but left a year later anyway when Barcelona could not afford to pay his wages.
      Lingard & Rashford
      FROM quirky handshakes to holiday snaps, the two stars regularly give the world an insight into their bond through social media.
      Jesse Lingard once said he saw Marcus Rashford, five years his junior, as a little brother in the United squad, before moving on to Nottingham Forest.

      He has nicknamed him ‘beansprouts’ and says their friendship stemmed from defending him during a feisty Manchester derby in 2016.
      “He got into a little bit of beef and I had to be there for him, and from then it’s carried on and I’ll always be there for him no matter what,” Lingard said.Lovren & Salah
      FOR Dejan Lovren and Mohamed Salah, there was an instant connection.
      When Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017, the two men discussed their tough upbringings and, from there, they were virtually inseparable.
      Lovren revealed: “From day one, we felt this connection.

      “We have been talking a lot, we were talking about private things and we have a similar background, a tough life from the beginning.
      “And then with his normality, how he can talk to you and when you see how he thinks… we are good friends, coffee, jokes!”
      Lovren now plays for Lyon while Salah is still starring at Anfield.Alli & Dier
      WHEN Dele Alli signed for Tottenham from Milton Keynes Dons in 2015, he quickly bonded with his fellow newbie.
      Eric Dier had signed from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon and the two quickly formed a friendship that culminated in appearing alongside each other on the Gogglebox sofa.

      The Channel 4 programme gave fans an insight into their friendship as the pair bickered over a cuppa on telly.
      But they’re not afraid to talk about their bond either, with Dele once saying: “Love’s a strong word but we do really like each other.”
      Dier has become a first team regular at Spurs, while Alli was sold to Everton. He has since tried to rebuild his career on loan in Turkey.Pogba & Lukaku
      IF it wasn’t for ‘Agent Paul Pogba’, Romelu Lukaku wouldn’t have ended up at Manchester United.
      In the summer of 2017, when the Belgian was choosing between a transfer to Chelsea and United, he was holidaying with Pogba in an LA mansion.
      There was little doubt where he would end up.

      After that, the two superstars were virtually inseparable, hanging out, playing basketball and sharing private jets.
      The bromance was brought to an end in 2019 when Lukaku switched to Inter Milan. Pogba has since left the Red Devils for Juventus, while Lukaku is back on loan with Inter after flopping at Chelsea. Perhaps they can enjoy a nice Italian together at least now.
      Aubameyang & Lacazette
      THEY were always Gunner be mates.
      Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed for Arsenal in January 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship with fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette.

      Aubameyang remembers: “I came to Arsenal and there he was. It was good to see him. It was love at first sight!”
      Their bond off the pitch helped them on it, with the duo helping the club win the FA Cup in 2020.
      However, the best buds have since moved.
      Aubameyang was first to go, after a fallout with manager Mikel Arteta, to Barcelona. He since moved to Chelsea.
      Lacazette returned to Lyon and is flying this season, even without his close pal at hand.
      Mount & Rice
      IT was in Chelsea’s academy, at the age of seven, that Mason Mount and Declan Rice began their friendship.
      Both families holidayed together and travelled Europe, watching the boys play for the Blues, and their bond endured Chelsea’s decision to release Rice at the age of 14 – which made Mount’s mum cry.

      Now the two midfielders have been able to team up again while playing for their country after being selected by Gareth Southgate.
      And Mount provided the most hilarious video when he surprised a sleeping Rice while they were on holiday together.
      Kolasinac & Ozil
      IF any star has proved their bezzie loyalty it’s Sead Kolasinac to Mesut Ozil.
      In the face of knife-wielding moped thugs, Kolasinac leapt from Ozil’s car and defended his pal with whom he had formed a strong bond.

      German Ozil vowed to take Kolasinac under his wing when he arrived at Arsenal in 2017, and since then the two men — and their wives — have become best friends.
      In the summer of 2019, both couples got married and attended each other’s wedding while the two men dyed their hair blonde after losing a bet.
      Ozil retired from the game this year, after a spell in Turkey. Kolasinac was sold to Marseille.
      Fabregas & Suarez & Messi
      IT is the friendship group football fans would dream to be a part of.
      Messi, Suarez and Cesc Fabregas, who all met at Barcelona, have formed a small clique of some of the world’s greatest footballing talent.

      With their respective partners ⁠— Antonella Roccuzzo, Sofia Balbi and Daniella Semaan ⁠— all friends as well, the group regularly holiday together in giant luxury villas and yachts.
      There was even a suggestion in 2017 that the group racked up a £32,630 bill during a dinner on the Spanish island of Ibiza.Firmino & Coutinho
      THEIR time together at Anfield was relatively short but extremely sweet.
      Fellow Brazilians Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho formed a formidable partnership in Jurgen Klopp’s fierce attack.

      So it came as a blow to Firmino when Coutinho made the £142million switch to Barcelona in January 2018.
      Firmino said: “He made his decision to join Barcelona, but every time we play for the Seleção we have a chat and maintain that friendship.
      “He’s an exceptional guy – one of the best friends football has given me.”
      Coutinho returned to the Premier League with Aston Villa, so the pair rekindled their bromance.
      However, with Firmino leaving Anfield this summer, expect an emotional goodbye.
      Nolan & Carroll
      WHEN Andy Carroll was bailed for an assault charge in 2010, he turned to his best mate Kevin Nolan.
      Having become close friends at Newcastle, Nolan allowed his pal to live with his family on two conditions — reading Peppa Pig to his kids and being in bed by 11pm!

      But it still came as some surprise when the former Liverpool striker named Nolan in his dream 5-a-side team alongside superstars such as Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez.
      Nolan responded by saying: “Well, me and Andy are mates so he’s looking after his mucker!”And when bromances go bad… Owen and Shearer
      A lethal strike partnership, the darlings of England’s first-team, whose relationship spiralled from good mates to a public spat.
      Michael Owen’s autobiography Reboot: My Life lifted the lid on a bitter feud that began during his time at Newcastle.
      The two English heavyweights went toe-to-toe on Twitter after Owen’s book claimed Alan Shearer had questioned his professionalism at St. James’ Park.
      Shearer took aim at Owen by highlighting his hefty wages at Newcastle before Owen shot back by questioning Shearer’s loyalty to Newcastle.
      Let’s hope the other bezzies in this list aren’t slinging mud at each other in ten years’ time.

      Footballers strange contract demands, from no space travel to weight clauses and free moves for Catalan independence

      by

      PLAYERS are valuable commodities.So when they thrash out contracts with the world’s biggest clubs, it’s important to get everything right and nothing’s left to chance.
      Footballers like Lionel Messi reportedly have bizarre clauses written into their contractsCredit: Getty
      But there are times when stipulations are put in place by player and club to protect their interests, to let them fulfil their hobbies, or managers just don’t trust them.
      SunSport looks back at the wackiest clauses added by players and clubs.Messi business
      Back in 2020, with Lionel Messi’s future STILL up in the air before his free transfer move to Paris Saint-Germain, talk of what he would look for in his new contract away from Barcelona began to surface.
      Some of the clauses in that deal were leaked by El Mundo.
      They included an agreement to learn how to speak Catalan, he must ‘adopt an adequate personal conduct and pace of life’ and not engage in doping, and if Catalonia became its own country he could leave on a free transfer.

      Lew the outdoor adventurer
      When Robert Lewandowski was running down his contract at Borussia Dortmund both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were jostling for his signature.
      And in leaked documents, Real Madrid’s offer seemed far more lucrative.
      Alongside a £166,000-per-week deal and a £10m signing-on fee were several requests they didn’t want daredevil Lewandowski to do while he was their property.
      Skiing, paragliding, climbing, going on a motorboat and even riding a motorbike were big ‘no-nos’ for Madrid’s hierarchy… so that’s why signed for Bayern instead.

      Reina toyed with
      When negotiating a contract, it’s important to be 100 per cent clear about what is being stipulated.
      When German forward Giuseppe Reina moved to Arminia Bielefeld in 1996, he demanded the club build him a house for every year of his contract.
      The club accepted.
      However, Reina didn’t specify what size he required.
      And Arminia provided him with a house made of Lego for the next three years.

      Redondo locked out
      Former Real Madrid and AC Milan midfielder Fernando Redondo was excluded from Argentina’s 1998 World Cup squad for a bizarre reason.
      Manager Daniel Passarella had refused to pick homosexuals or players with earrings and long hair.
      Redondo was ‘guilty’ of the latter.
      He said: “I was in great form. But Passarella had particular ideas about discipline and wanted me to have my hair cut.
      “I didn’t see what that had to do with playing football so I said no.”
      Fernando Redondo’s long hair cost him his international career
      Cooking up a treat
      Congolese midfielder Rolf-Christel Guie-Mien moved from Karlsruher to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1999.
      However, he had one simple request: that his new club pay for his wife to have cooking lessons.
      We’re not sure Mrs Guie-Mien took too kindly to this demand.
      She was not available for comment at the time.

      Brought down to Earth
      Swede Stefan Schwarz moved to Sunderland in 1999 — but the Wearsiders had one stipulation the former Arsenal man had to adhere to.
      Schwarz was told that any potential flights into space would not be tolerated.
      The Black Cats chief exec John Flicking said at the time: “One of Schwarz’s advisers has, indeed, got one of the places on the commercial flights [into space, due to take place in 2002].
      “And we were worried that he may wish to take Stefan along with him. So we thought we’d better get things tied up now rather than at the time of the flight.”
      In fact, rather than managing to go up, his career ended when Sunderland went down in 2003.
      Stefan Schwarz is presented as a Sunderland player, alongside Peter Reid in 1999
      Razor weighed down
      Former Premier League and England defender Neil Ruddock once admitted to eating 212 steak and kidney pies every year.
      And Crystal Palace were advised Razor did come with some extra baggage when they signed him on a free in 2000.
      Ex-Eagles chairman Simon Jordan wrote in his autobiography: “On approaching West Ham I discovered he was a free transfer, although he did have a weighty salary — which was not the only weighty thing about him.
      “Harry Redknapp, the West Ham manager at the time, told me to put in a weight clause.
      “So I decided to put a 10 per cent penalty on the contract we were proposing to offer him if he was over the recommended weight of 99.8kg, which by the way was still frigging huge.”
      Ruddock’s Palace debut was allegedly delayed because the club couldn’t find a pair of shorts big enough for him.
      Neil Ruddock has never been one of the slimmest footballers
      Driving a Honda
      Japanese legend Keisuke Honda joined Botafogo in January 2020.
      But moving to Brazil’s crime-ridden city of Rio de Janeiro had the midfielder fearing for his safety.
      So he stipulated he would need an ARMOURED VEHICLE as part of the deal.
      More incredibly, Botafogo agreed.
      But his stay in South America did not last long and the now 36-year-old left the same year for Azerbaijan.
      Honda ended his career in Lithuania – and is now coach of Cambodia’s U23s.

      Georgina Rodriguez and Antonella Roccuzzo’s amazing lifestyles compared, from Netflix show to travelling in private jets

      by

      WAGS Georgina Rodriguez and Antonella Roccuzzo live a life to envy.The respective partners of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have become celebrities in their own right, as influencers, fashion icons, TV stars and more.
      Georgina Rodriguez is the most recognised Wag in the world
      Antonella Roccuzzo is married to seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi
      With that they have enjoyed the trappings fame brings – travelling in private jets, sunning themselves on incredible yachts, being sought after by brands as ambassadors and more.
      Of course, with the smooth comes the rough – with Rodriguez having to deny claims that Ronaldo is “fed up with her” after an argument on a jet. But that won’t hurt them.
      SunSport takes a look at the glam lifestyles these two stunning women lead.
      Here’s how they compare – with their rivalry almost as fierce as their footballer beaus.

      On brand
      As the supportive Wags of two of football’s biggest stars, Georgina and Antonella are backed by a huge wealth.
      Ronaldo’s net worth is believed to be somewhere in the region of £400million, and was boosted by his recent move to Saudi Arabia, where he became the highest paid footballer in history netting a reported £173million-per-year deal.
      Messi, himself, is believed to be worth around £480million.
      For years he was bankrolled by Barcelona, now at PSG he earns a staggering £740,000-per-week.
      Most read in Football
      Their partner’s salaries are enough to keep Georgina and Antonella in handbags and designer wear.
      Roccuzzo’s go-to designers include Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana and she’s been a regular at Paris Fashion Week since her husband made a move to the French capital, clutching a £2,000 Louis Vuitton purse in 2021.
      Rodriguez is similar in her tastes. But, she is more partial to a red carpet moment.
      For that, she prefers to sparkle in a mesmerising Ali Karoui gown – with prices starting at around the £3,000 mark.
      But it’s her handbag collection that is insane. She’s of a fan of Hermes’ Birkin bag, owning several including a crocodile leather version that costs £146,000.

      Property
      Living in exclusive digs is part and parcel of being the world’s glamorous Wags.
      Neither Georgina or Antonella are found wanting here.
      Both Cristiano and Messi’s bulging property empire, with properties around the globe, suits all.
      The Argentinian spent £23million on a portfolio that saw him invest in homes in Barcelona, Ibiza and Miami.
      While Georgina has been with Ronaldo, they’ve lived in a stunning £4.8million mansion in the La Finca neighbourhood, as well as a compound in Turin that protected their privacy.
      He’s also invested in a luxury home in Marbella costing £1.4million.
      When Ronaldo and Georgina upped sticks to Saudi Arabia in January, they were handed the Four Season hotel’s Kingdom Suite that spans two floors.
      It was estimated a bill would cost somewhere in the region of £250,000-per-month.

      Netflix & other ventures
      Rosario beauty Antonella has appeared briefly when TV crews have filmed Messi for documentaries and interviews.
      But, she prefers to stay out of the limelight when it comes to her personal life.
      She shields her children Mateo, Thiago and Ciro from the public eye.
      For Georgina, life is more of an open book. We got a glimpse of her lifestyle in Netflix show I Am Georgina – that’s Georgina, the mother, the influencer, and a businesswoman.
      She was reportedly paid around £9million by the American streaming giants.
      It was such a success a second season was filmed, but so far there’s no confirmation a third season is on its way.
      Antonella’s sideline is a clothing label she runs with her family, Enfans that is aimed at children and hugely popular in her homeland.
      While Georgina has brand ambassador roles of the plenty. She is the first global ambassador for Italian luxury designer Elisabetta Franchi, while Arab brand Amara Lenses have also made her the face of their promos.

      Roccuzzo keeps her personal affairs more private
      Jet-set
      Both their lifestyles are extravagant, and when it comes to holiday season they don’t skimp.
      Being mega wealthy, both Ronaldo and Messi own yachts.
      They also own private jets, with their Wags taking advantage of those luxuries.
      However, Ronaldo reportedly sold his for a cool £20million last year.
      Before preseason kicks off, Antonella can be seen bronzing her sculpted body on board his Maiora Seven C yacht, worth around 11million floating on the Mediterranean Sea.
      In recent times, she’s been pictured with pals Daniella Semaan and Messi’s former team-mate Cesc Fabregas.
      Ronaldo isn’t one to be left out when it comes to the yacht stakes
      In 2021, he splashed £5.5million on the Azimut Grande, which is 88-feet long, and is capable of reaching up to 28 knots thanks to its two 1,900 horsepower engines.

      They love spending time enjoying its five cabins, six stunning bathrooms, modern kitchen, as well as relaxation room and a huge lounge and a lavish dining room anchored in the Tyrrhenian sea, just off the western coast of Italy.
      Cristiano and Georgina also once stayed in a £10,000-per-night mansion in Majorca with a helipad, tennis court, pool and spa.
      Cars
      Ronaldo has a dream car collection, reportedly worth around £18million.
      So it’s no wonder Georgina showers her man with the gift of a new motor.
      She’s done it twice, first time wrapping up a £516,000 Mercedes G-Class Brabus SUV in a red bow after a dinner date.
      Then, at the tail-end of 2022, the Spanish stunner pulled the same trick with a £250,000 Rolls-Royce Dawn. Lucky boy.
      Messi, himself, is a car collector too. But, Antonella hasn’t showered him with any elaborate cars yet.

      Roccuzzo was spotted driving around Paris in a electric Mini Cooper like thisCredit: Getty
      In fact, she was seen in a more modest ride driving around the streets of Paris.
      Antonella has an electric Mini Cooper, that costs somewhere in the region of £31,000.
      How they met their partners
      Georgina famously met Cristiano when she worked as a shop assistant at Gucci in Madrid in 2016, where she made just £250-per-week.
      Then, at a brand event a few days later, their eyes met again.
      “It was love at first sight for both,” Georgina previously told the Sun on Sunday.
      The couple kept their relationship under wraps for the first few months, but once people found out they were dating, football fans started turning up at Georgina’s shop.
      Bosses feared the fans, who were trying to take pictures, would put off their rich clientele, and Georgina was dismissed from her dream job in December 2016 after just eight months.
      Antonella is Messi’s longterm love.
      The couple were an item as teenagers and began dating again in 2007, after it was reported he comforted her following the death of a friend.

      The 33-year-old was born in London, but competed in the Olympics for the USA, where he has mostly lived.
      Recently, the racing driver and his best buddy, a 2016 Olympic bronze medallist, were spotted in the dessert enjoying the festivities of the Coachella music festival.
      A trendy pair, they are also regulars at the Met Gala in New York, where they rub shoulders with other celebrities and fashionistas from around the globe.
      But while we know so much about Hamilton, Chamley-Watson remains somewhat more of a mystery.

      SunSport looks into the seven-time F1 champion’s friendship with the renowned fencer, as well as tell you a little bit about who he is.
      Sporting prowess
      Chamley-Watson has scored plenty of success in the world of fencing.
      Born in London, he moved to the US when he was eight and took up the sport he would later make his name in at the Knox School just a year later.
      It shaped his formative years, earning him a scholarship to Pennsylvania State University.

      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      By the time of his senior year in 2011, Miles would earn himself top spot on the United States’ Olympic Fencing team as a foil fencer.
      He competed in the 2012 Games, but was defeated in the second round by Egyptian Alaaeldin Abouelkassem, who would go on to win a silver medal in the individual event.
      A year later, Chamley-Watson won the World Championship – becoming the first American to achieve such a feat.
      Four years later in Rio de Janeiro, Chamley-Watson would walk away with a bronze medal in the team event for the USA.

      Blessed with good looks, and standing at a mountainous 6ft4in, he has also become the poster boy for his sport – earning sponsorships with Nike, modelling for Coach, Richard Mille watches, and Mumm’s champagne.
      His aim was to bring fencing to the mainstream – inspiring kids who were once like him, restless, bullied and misunderstood.
      Back in 2021, he told Robb Report: “I want to show kids what they can do.
      “I’m even working on new outfits and a scoring system with flashing lights to get fencing on primetime TV.”
      Birthday beats
      Hamilton and Chamley-Watson’s paths crossed at the Met Gala in 2016 and immediately hit it off.
      They have been regulars together ever since, cutting fine figures on the red carpet of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.
      The two have been seen jogging on the beach together at Byron Bay, before last month’s Australian Grand Prix.
      They are also happy to share a cryotherapy chamber treatment in unison, where participants can be exposed to temperatures as low as -200°C.
      Back in January, Miles spelled out his love for Hamilton in a gushing birthday message.
      Sharing a suited and booted picture from their 2021 Met Gala appearance, he wrote: “My brother. Happy Birthday. This is gonna be an incredible year for you I know it. Love man’s to the moon and back. Everyone go wish my bestie the best of birthdays! Man’s is also aging backwards.”
      Last week, Justin Bieber was allowed to join in on their bromance in Indio valley, as they partied at Coachella.

      The beautiful redhead, 28, is best known for starring in teen drama Riverdale as Cheryl Blossom.
      They were spotted together in Los Angeles in 2021, but kept their romance private.
      They do not share photos on social media together – adding to the mystery of their relationship furthermore – but they still follow one another on Instagram.
      It is unknown if they continue to date one another today.

      For now, Chamley-Watson is focused on fencing, appearing at the 2024 Olympics and helping kids from all backgrounds compete in fencing.
      He told fashion website Highsnobiety: “I have an Olympic gold to win and 2024 is around the corner.
      “For my sport, I think most of my foundation, which is going to promote fencing. We’re gonna take care of four to eight kids a year and pay for their training.
      “Also, we’re gonna put on a couple competitions live next, actually, this year as well as next season on Facebook, NBC and Redbull TV.

      Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s bizarre health routine including six meals a DAY, cryotherapy sessions and painting his NAILS

      by

      AT 38, Cristiano Ronaldo does everything he can to stay on top of his game – and that includes a stringent and bizarre health routine.Earlier this week, CR7 caused a stir on social media when he shared a picture on Instagram enjoying a sauna.
      Cristiano Ronaldo shows off his black painted toenailsCredit: https://www.instagram.com/stories/cristiano/3080706890529809816/
      But it wasn’t the ex-Man Utd star’s chiselled abs that had fans talking. It was his painted toenails that his followers were happy to point out.
      Astonishingly, that is just a number of vigils the five-time Ballon d’Or winner abides by to keep himself in tip-top shape.
      SunSport explores Ronaldo’s healthy habits.
      Six meals a day
      The former Real Madrid legend can eat up to SIX meals a day, with fish a big part of his diet.
      Read more Cristiano Ronaldo news
      Swordfish, tuna and braised cod are particular favourites.
      He regards chicken as ‘magical’ due to its high protein and low fat content.
      For breakfast Ronaldo will eat ham and cheese and low-fat yoghurt.
      If he doesn’t have it for brekkie, the Manchester United star will wolf down avocado toast for snacks during the day.
      Most read in Football
      Lunch No1 could consist of chicken and salad, while No2 might be fish – maybe tuna with salad, eggs and olives.
      Dinner will see the football legend fill his boots with meat or fish, maybe breaking them up in two separate sittings.
      Fish and salad are an integral part of Ronaldo’s dietCredit: Instagram
      Ronaldo swears by chicken because of its high protein and low fat content
      Cryotherapy chamber
      Since 2013, Ronaldo has sworn by cryotherapy treatment.
      He had a chamber, costing around £50,000, installed in his Spanish mansion when he played for Los Blancos.
      And he still uses them religiously to maintain his physique.
      Standing in the chamber for around three minutes, liquid nitrogen freezes Ronaldo to between minus 160 and minus 200 degrees Celsius.
      Cryotherapy beats muscle soreness and reduces swelling, inflammation or sprains.

      Four hour workouts daily
      You don’t think he looks good just training for his club, do you?
      When it comes to working out, Ronaldo does not do things in half measures.
      Following a strict fitness plan, he will add 25-30 minutes of cardio, high-intensity sprinting and targeted weights to increase muscle strength to his daily routine.
      Ronaldo is also a regular swimmer and the forward is obsessed with Pilates that focuses on resistance work to strengthen his core.
      Incredibly, he will train three to four hours a day AFTER he’s finished with his club.
      Just ask former team-mate Patrice Evra who once revealed he hated going round to Ronaldo’s for dinner, because after they ate he made him do an intense workout.

      After training with his club, Ronaldo will work out in the gym for three or fours a dayCredit: Instagram @cristiano
      Plenty of daytime naps
      Ronaldo likes his sleep and gets eight hours a night.
      But that’s on top of the five naps he takes during the day.
      Speaking about rest, the Portuguese superstar said: “Proper sleep is really important for getting the most out of training.
      “I go to bed early and get up early, especially before matches. Sleep helps muscles recover which is really important.”
      Ronaldo likes to nap up to five times a dayCredit: Instagram / @cristiano
      Painting his toenails
      After a busy week in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo recently let his hair down in a sauna.
      Sharing the image on social media, he sported black painted toenails.
      It is not the first time the Al Nassr forward has done this either, with followers also drawn to his feet when he was pictured with UFC fighter Francis Ngannou earlier this year.
      However, there is a perfect valid reason why Ronaldo does this.
      According to German publication Bild, many athletes paint their toes to avoid fungi and bacteria infections.

      Ronaldo showed off his black painted toenails in a snap with Francis Ngannou

      They claimed: “Many top athletes do this to protect their nails from fungi and bacteria when they are stuck in sweaty shoes for hours. Even Mike Tyson.”
      It’s another factor in what makes Ronaldo one of the GOAT. More

      Grealish and Saka’s different lifestyles, with ‘humble’ Arsenal star living with parents and Man City ace face of Gucci

      THEY are the two men firing their respective teams to Premier League glory.Bukayo Saka, 21, has been instrumental in Arsenal title challenge and is a frontrunner for the PFA Player of the Year.

      Fashion giants Gucci made Grealish a brand ambassador
      Meanwhile, Jack Grealish, 27, has come of age at Manchester City following his £100million move from Aston Villa – inspiring his club to a winning streak that has seen them become favourites for the league title.
      But off the pitch, the two are very different characters.
      Clotheshorse Grealish is an ambassador for Gucci and, with his glam Wag Sasha Attwood, has crossed over to the celebrity pages.
      Saka cuts a more humble figure, driven by religion and lives at home with his parents.
      read more football news
      Despite that, the two are firm friends when they meet up on England duty.
      High-praise
      Chalk and cheese they may be, Grealish has admitted a soft spot for Saka.
      Talking to talkSPORT, the City midfielder told of his love for Saka when they asked who would make an ideal son-in-law.
      Speaking about Saka, Grealish – without any hesitation – said: “You know what, mate? He’s the best, the best kid, honestly.
      Most read in Football
      “I went up to his dad the other day and I said: ‘I love your son’ He’s a legend, honestly, he must be the nicest kid ever. He’s got a little bit of banter as well, he’s funny.”
      Amusingly, James Maddison also chose Saka and added if he had a sister or a daughter and they said to him, “I’m going on a date with Jack Grealish’, I’d be like ‘nah, you’re not.”

      Grealish would reveal more about his love affair for the winger in an interview with The Times before the Three Lions faced off against Ukraine last month.
      He also spoke of a tussle they had in a game at the Emirates earlier this season.
      Grealish said: “I’m playing for City on the wing, he’s playing for Arsenal on the wing and we’re both going for the Premier League.
      “But that is another thing that the manager here at England has done so well. We feel like a group of team-mates that are together. Back at your club, you’re rivals but everyone just clicks here.
      “He’s a great lad, Bukayo. In the game the other week, I went past someone and then me and him went shoulder to shoulder.
      “I thought, ‘[the ref] has got to give it as a foul’, because I can’t have Bukayo saying that he bodied me. I pulled him up on that this morning and he said it was never a foul.”

      Salaries
      When Grealish signed for Man City in 2021 for a British record transfer fee, the move made him one of the Premier League’s highest-earners.
      His salary is reported to be in the region of £300,000-per-week and, with sponsorships on top of that, he earns a packet.
      Last month, Grealish signed a mega boot deal with Puma – the biggest in English football history, according to reports.
      Grealish is already an ambassador of brands such as Gucci, Bose headphones and Airway.
      Saka is on the brink of signing a new deal at the Emirates that would put him on a parity with Grealish on £300,000-per-week.
      Currently, he is believed to make £70,000-per-week, which pales into insignificance to what some of his team-mates are paid.
      New Balance, though, look after Saka well. His deal with them, for boots and to model leisure wear, is claimed to be worth £1.8m.

      Homes
      Back in 2021, Saka swapped the modest home he grew up in with his Nigerian parents – just five miles from Wembley – for a swanky £2.3m pad in Hertfordshire.
      Not much is known about the property, other than it has a spa and walk-in wardrobes.
      Loyal to his mum and dad, he moved his family in straight away to be close to him.
      Grealish paid a reported £6m for a stunning mansion in the North West last year.
      Spanning over 20 acres of land, the mansion has a helicopter pad, tennis court, golf course, fishing lake, and enough space for a full-size football pitch.
      On top of that, the seven bedroom home has a massive swimming pool, leisure suite, gym, and wine cellar.

      This is my church
      While Grealish enjoys the high-life, partying in Ibiza with the likes of Wayne Lineker and taking in boys’ trips to Las Vegas, Saka is more modest with how he spends his money.
      The Gunners star has never spoken about cars he has owned and flaunted wealth.
      Instead, he is a regular church goer. He attended The Edward Betham Church of England Primary School, a school that preaches strong Christian beliefs.
      Later, he gained As and A*s in his GCSEs.
      As he grew up, he attended The Kingsborough Centre, previously known as Kingsborough Family Church, with his parents.
      Even on Instagram he refers to himself as ‘God’s Child’. While on England duty, he confirmed he reads the Bible every night.
      He doesn’t drink and leads a clean lifestyle, with his only bad habit – playing FIFA too long.
      For Grealish, God is a DJ. He told BT Sport last year he was learning how to spin the decks.
      “I like every type of music. I’m actually trying to learn to DJ at the moment. Yeah, ‘DJ Grealo’,” he joked.
      “I’m awful but everything takes time. I’m trying to learn Spanish as well. I want to learn some stuff outside of football, have a hobby and stuff.”

      Since he was an up-and-coming star at Villa, Grealish has been involved with Sasha Attwood.
      Sasha’s profile rocketed when he signed for Man City for £100m and became an England hero.
      The 26-year-old is a model and influencer, who has starred in huge ad campaigns.
      Most recently, she scored a massive deal with online fashion retailer boohoo.
      And she was dropping a massive hint to Jack about her future – modelling a range of maternity wear.
      Saka is believed to be in a relationship with Tolami Benson, who at 22 is one year old than her footballer beau.
      The pair are thought to have started dating in late 2020 but have kept their relationship secret until recently.
      They do not share pictures of them together, and don’t even follow each other on social media.
      However, she was spotted alongside Three Lions Wags in Qatar for last year’s World Cup.
