Footballers at Christmas! Stars enjoy festivities alongside WAGs and their children as likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi pose in calm before the storm ahead of Boxing Day fixtures
The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo shared festive snaps on social media as footballers posed alongside WAGs and their children on Christmas Day.
Players have been settling down to enjoy the day, though many will be in training too ahead of a chaotic period post-Christmas with a number of games taking place all over the world.
Defending Premier League champions Manchester City will be among the teams in action on Boxing Day, with there eight games in total before two more – Brighton versus Brentford and Arsenal versus Ipswich – take place on December 27.
But alongside some trips to the training ground, players have posed alongside their families for social media posts to show fans how they are spending Christmas.
Fronting the festivities was Ronaldo, who shared a post online to his 645million Instagram followers as he sat alongside model wife Georgina Rodriguez and his five children, all wearing matching pyjamas.
The caption read: ‘The most important part of Christmas,’ accompanied by a Christmas tree emoji.

Lionel Messi posed alongside wife Antonela Roccuzzo on social media, as well as his children
Potentially luckily for Ronaldo, Al-Nassr are out of action until January 9, meaning the former Manchester United star has a break until he takes to the field again.
Lionel Messi, meanwhile, shared two photos via his wife’s Instagram account. He smiled arm in arm with Antonela Roccuzzo, and then again alongside the couple’s three children.
Elsewhere, in terms of Premier League stars, Emiliano Martinez suited up to sit down with Amanda and the couple’s two children, Luis Diaz cozied up with his four-person family and Alejandro Garnacho laid in from of a tree with girlfriend Eva Garcia and their young son.
Across Manchester, Bernardo Silva was seen sat in front of his Christmas tree alongside partner Ines Tomaz, with daughter Carlota, who was born earlier this year, on the shoulders of the Manchester City star.
He will likely line up against Everton on Boxing Day as Pep Guardiola’s side look to turn their dire form around.
