Not a serious fan of footy, but even I can appreciate the sight of grizzled veteran Iniesta alongside speedy youngsters 10 or so years his junior. Mix in the return of Villa for his last ever game and we have the makings for some dramatic new years day viewing.

I bet TV revenues from this kind of game help cover some of the big salaries. I remember Iniesta is making 10 - 20 million per year plus a wine selling deal with Rakuten.
But speaking of overpaying players, in baseball the Yankees just promised to pay a pitcher over 300 million for nine years. That amount is more than the combined yearly salaries of all the players in NPB, just for one person. Craziness.
