It's a widely held belief that Barcelona play the sexiest football around. So why not make a calendar to match? That must have been the thinking at the Penya Lombarda Barcelona fan club in Italy, who are releasing the calendar below. My, how you've changed Lionel: These chicas seem to be the face of the Barcelona calendar rather than Messi or Xavi. The calendar features two young ladies who seem to have left their replica shirts behind. It is easy to imagine the teenagers of Catalonia and maybe even Madrid for that matter putting this on their lists for Santa.
Waking up with these two in your stocking would certainly be a Christmas to remember. It takes a lot to move superstar Lionel Messi from centre-stage but this pair have just about succeeded. Eye not on the ball: The calendar is sure to be a best seller with these two marketing it.
Then again, there's no way of knowing what's inside the calender - this may all be sneaky marketing. When the boys rub their hands in glee and rip open the packaging they may be disappointed to find inside the rugged faces of Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano.
Most football teams end up with star men on the pages of their calendars, but then Barca do claim they are 'mes que un club'. The signs are promising and this looks like it could well be a better purchase than the official calendar. The fan club is 'not for profit' and the money goes to charity.
