Sometimes the football news feed resembles a family album — and this is exactly one of those moments. Several well-known players shared good news: some are getting ready to become fathers for the first time, some have already welcomed a baby, and some have a reason to light candles on a cake. Joy off the pitch unites rivals and fans better than any statistic.
"Arsenal" Applauds Behind the Scenes: David Raya Prepares for His First Child
The goalkeeper of London’s "Arsenal," David Raya, learned that he will soon become a father. His wife, Tatyana, came up with an original way to share the happy news, and the family has begun the countdown to a debut in a completely different, yet no less responsible, role. For Raya, this is his firstborn — and it looks like the most important "match" of the season will take place away from the stadium.
Paulo Dybala on the Threshold of Fatherhood
Joyful changes are happening for Paulo Dybala as well. The Argentine forward and his wife, Oriana, are expecting their first child. For the couple, this is a significant milestone — a new stage they are preparing for with no less excitement than for decisive minutes on the pitch. Ahead lies a long road, where sleepless nights and first steps will replace training microcycles.
Dani Alves Is a Dad Again
The legendary full-back Dani Alves and his wife, model Joana Sanz, have become parents. This news appeared after reports about the overturning of a conviction in a high-profile case. For the 42-year-old Alves, this is far from the first experience: he has two teenage children from a previous marriage, so he approaches fatherhood with plenty of "match practice."
Neymar and Bruna Biancardi: Mavie's Second Birthday
Neymar also has a reason to celebrate. He and Bruna Biancardi marked the birthday of their elder daughter — Mavie turned two. The family celebration reminded everyone that beyond stadiums, titles, and transfer rumors there are moments truly worth scoring for — even if those "goals" come in the form of smiles and children’s laughter.
Football is often measured by statistics, but true victories happen when baby strollers, tiny boots, and family photographs are added to the league table. This "round" will surely be remembered for a long time.
