What links Barcelona and Brazil legend Ronaldinho to Burnley is an excellent quiz question, but his grandson could be born in the North-West of England. His son has announced that he and his partner are expecting on social media.
Andreas Christensen: "My recovery? We're finally on the right track, I feel good, now it's about becoming stronger. The last time I played without pain? I can't remember, well actually, I would say that I felt really good in my first season here, so during the 2022/23 season."… pic.twitter.com/aRZveKch0B

Joao Mendes, 19, had a brief spell at Barcelona in their under-19s last season after leaving Cruzeiro, and was picked up by Burnley, where he currently plays for the under-21 side. He is yet to make his senior debut under Scott Parker at Turf Moor.

Ronaldinho will be a grandfather at the age of 45, after Mendes and partner Giovanna Buscacio, 25, posted that they were ’16 weeks and counting’. The ex-PSG man still works as an ambassador for Barcelona on occasion, and was recently part of a legends match against Real Madrid, where netted a trademark free-kick. He has certainly been through it since retirement though, spending months in a Paraguayan prison after faking his identity at border control.
