It’s no secret that many footballers in the world’s biggest club competitions are paid far more than many of us on modest incomes. In the case of superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale, they’re often paid more than £100,000 a week, giving them plenty to spend when they’re not training or playing.

If you had that amount of spare cash in your bank account, what would you do with it? The likelihood may be that you decide to buy a fancy car, something many of the players in this infographic have done to varying degrees.

As one of the most flamboyant and arrogant players in the world, you would expect Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo to have a flash motor, and he does – the £1.5m Bugatti Veyron. Like him, it’s exceedingly fast, looks good and can turn on a sixpence, plus it’s rare to find a car with such a high level of performance.

At the other end of the scale, the former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has many cars, but his main motor is a relatively down-to-earth Audi 4x4, costing him just £60,000! Although not in the same league as a Veyron, it’s still more expensive than something us mere mortals can afford!

In the past, being an Arsenal fan was much simpler. You either watched the match in person or you caught the game on TV. In either scenario, you probably yelled yourself hoarse in the process. As a Gooner in 2013, more is expected from you than waking up the next day with a bad case of laryngitis. You also have to represent. This means wearing team colors with pride as well as losing your voice.
