Overrated Barcelona star sold a dummy by youngster

Inspired by the cheeky antics of the cheeky Chelsea mascot, an Italian TV station sent a young reporter to get “revenge” on Barcelona’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he returned to Italy for last week’s Champions League clash at the San Siro.

Ibra hasn’t looked this helpless since the last time he played in a major international tournament.

The Bayern Munich prankster strikes again

When Bayern Munich opened their Bavarian headquarters to the public, French prank artist Franck Ribery took the opportunity to test Luca Toni’s pain threshhold.

Mad props to Bild for adding an assortment of hi-larious doorbell noises to the incident.

Mildly interesting Spoiler fact: Bayern’s training facility, upgraded at the behest of Jurgen Klinsmann, now includes a café, a library, an “e-Learning room”, and a family room. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Cobham.

Stephen Bywater chooses the perfect time to prank a teammate

At the start of the season, morale at Derby County was so low that players were willing to sneak through windows if it meant escaping Paul Jewell’s regime. That’s all changed under Nigel Clough though. Robbie Savage is a first-team regular again having been sent to Brighton on loan earlier this season and his teammates are delighted to have him back. Stephen Bywater decided to show his love for the Welshman by showering him with drink live on Sky Sports News. Be sure to check out Savage’s face as he realises what’s about to happen but has nowhere to run.

Manchester Utd stars rib C-Ron for streaming armpits

Among Cristiano Ronaldo’s exceptional talents is the ability to sweat through a jacket - only comedian Lee Evans can boast a more powerful level of perspiration.

Rather than being praised for this unusual gift, however, the preened  Portuguese has been ribbed by teammates:

Team-mates filled his training room locker with cans of deodorant and aftershave when the Manchester United ace was pictured by the Mirror sweating through a jacket on a night out.

Ex-United striker Brian McClair, now its youth academy director revealed: “As he is never one for getting to training early, he found this picture copied all over the dressing-room. When he opened his locker, all the deodorants and perfumes fell out. He was not amused!”

One would have thought Ronaldo would be pleased to receive some much-needed deodorant, but presumably he was angry because his team-mates made room for the spray in his locker by throwing away his hair products, tiny shorts, chest wax and prostitute directory.
