If Footballers were Superheroes

Lionel Messi – Superman

What do you get when you take all the superpowers ever thought of, and then roll them all into one single person? Well, Superman, of course. Lionel Messi was saved from Planet Newell’s Old Boys, moments before its destruction, by Carles Rexach, Sporting Director of FC Barcelona, and delivered to La Masia. Superman soon became a symbol of hope for the Catalans as he became the central figure in a charge towards every single club honour for FC Barcelona.

He’s the superhero all the other superheroes can only dream of becoming. However, he faces an arch-enemy of almost equal stature in the form of Lex Luthor aka Cristiano Ronado, who’s only remaining goal is to destroy Superman as a stepping stone to world domination.

Petr Cech – Batman.

I mean, he just has to be Batman, now doesn’t he?

NaNaNaNaNaNaNa Batman!
