In 2023, social media will be a cornerstone of society. Top players such as Lionel Messi, Memphis Depay and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as clubs from home and abroad, give (almost) daily insight into the ins and outs via Instagram, Twitter or other internet channels. Special football moments also travel across the planet at lightning speed. Football zone lists the craziest, most beautiful and most striking posts on social media in the section VZ Social.

Manchester United has reacted sharply to statements by Pep Guardiola via Twitter. The manager of Manchester City was asked about his heroes during the press conference on Tuesday evening after the 7-0 win over RB Leipzig. “I have three great heroes in my life. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Julia Roberts,” Guardiola replied. In addition to two athletes, the Spaniard chose a well-known American actress, who has already won numerous awards in her acting career.

However, Guardiola was recently disappointed in his heroine. “She was only in Manchester and didn’t even come to check on us. We have been better than Manchester United for four or five years and who was going to visit them? Man United! Even if I win the Champions League it still feels like a disappointment because she chose United over us.” United responded nicely to Guardiola’s statements by ‘coincidentally’ sharing a so-called throwback a day later, as proof that Roberts has visited Old Trafford.
