Messi earns Almost a miiloin pounds week..well deserved

I just know i should have been a footballer.. Probably it would have been me and Messi and Ronaldo making the soccer headlines every other week.  And at the end of the year, if other footballer plays well all through the season, Fifa would just nominate three of us *Day dreaming*

Lionel Messi is the highest-paid footballer on the planet, banking nearly £1million a week last year in wages and sponsorship deals.

The Argentina and Barcelona favourite earned an eye-watering £47.8m in 2014, with his club salary of £26m topped up by lucrative endorsements with the likes of adidas, FIFA 15 and Turkish Airlines.

It puts him well ahead of his Real Madrid and Portugal nemesis Cristiano Ronaldo, who brought in £39.7m
