In 2022, football players and clubs are more active than ever on social media. Top players such as Lionel Messi, Memphis Depay, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as well as clubs from home and abroad, provide an (almost) daily insight into the ins and outs via Instagram, Twitter or other internet channels. Voetbalzone lists the craziest, most beautiful and most striking posts on social media in the VZ Social section.

Thomas Müller has once again got the laughs on his hand via Twitter. The German midfielder-cum attacker, who is often praised for his comedic escapades, responded to the official account of the UEFA Champions League. In it, David Beckham typically kicks the ball towards a wave hole with the accompanying note: ‘Choose one player who will make this shot for sure’. Müller’s response is snappy. With ‘@Garethbale11?’ he puts the Wales international forward as a candidate by citing his official account. The tweet garnered more than 100,000 likes. Bale, who recently completed his transfer to Los Angeles FC, has yet to comment on the joke.

After Bale was photographed a number of times on a golf course as a Real Madrid player, including periods when the attacker was frequently injured, Madrid media and fans suggested that Bale was not willing to give anything for football. Then Predrag Mijatovic, former player and former technical director of the Royal the priorities of the wing striker. “First Wales, then golf, then Real Madrid.” When Wales fans brought a flag with those words to a European Championship qualifier with Hungary in November 2019 and Bale took a picture with it, the turnips were completely cooked. Even the ‘golf jokes’ of the Welshman himself could not count on sympathy. Bale himself recently responded to the ridicule and frustration of others. “People think I golf a lot, but I’m not,” he said.
