The world knows the names of football players who not only demonstrated high level games on the field, but were also symbols of male beauty. Stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham always enjoyed increased interest from the female representatives and received an excess of attention from them. It is worth noting that not all athletes have a chance to boast perfect appearance. However, this does not prevent them from being in the company of beautiful companions. Consider the ugliest football players and their beautiful wives, whose unions daily attract the attention of the press with their extravagance.
Luka Modric
The captain of the Croatian national team and midfielder of the Spanish club Real Madrid can truly secure the title of a happy father. In May 2010, he married the pretty Vanya Bosnich, who bore him three charming children.
The athlete was very lucky with his beautiful wife. She is several centimeters taller than a football player, has proportional facial features and has healthy skin.
At the same time, Luka is distinguished by a small and sharp nose, close-set eyes, a large forehead and a frail physique.
Angel Di Maria
Argentine midfielder who is regularly called up to the national team and plays for top European football clubs.
He also has success in his personal life. In 2011, the incomparable Jorgeline Cardoso married him. A couple of years later, the couple had a daughter.
Di Maria stands out with her huge ears, pointed chin and bulbous nose.
His wife draws attention with an elegant choice of evening dresses, fit figure and a pretty face.
Pepe
Portuguese defender who is known for his provocative actions on the field. He was noted for frequent unsportsmanlike behavior and unjustified aggression during matches.
The football player is married to Ana Sofia Moreira, who is a surgeon by profession.
Blonde model appearance built a family with a Portuguese of inconspicuous standards. He has a small, round face with a flattened nose and disproportionate cheekbones.
Axel Witsel
Belgian midfielder who was born in the overseas territory of France.
In 2015, during his career for the Russian football club"Zenith" footballer married the beauty Rafaella Szabo-Witsel. The family now lives in China and has two children.
The athlete has some flaws in appearance in the form of large teeth, old-fashioned curly hair and protruding ears.
Hector Herrera
Mexican midfielder, who was lucky to become a member of the Olympic football tournament in 2012 and win it. There is a high chance to assume that such grandiose sports achievements he was inspired by his fantastic wife, Chantal Matho.
The girl is the owner of a chic figure, lush hair and an intoxicatingly beautiful face. However, her husband is deprived of any unique features of appearance. He is short, lop-eared and has a crooked jaw.
It is rather difficult to determine what women are guided by when choosing football players who are not the most conspicuous in appearance as their husbands. Some of them are blindly in love with this exciting sport, while others do not chase models and simply seek their happiness with the right people.
Sport
David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gerard Pique became famous not only for their high achievements in football, but also for their outstanding external data.
However, not everyone is lucky enough to have a pretty face, perfect figure and a perfect smile. The examples of celebrities from this list prove that appearance and beauty in sports do not play any role at all.
Besides, you don't have to be Alain Delon to marry one of the most beautiful women in the country.
Here are the ugliest football players from around the world and their beautiful wives:
scary soccer players
Angel di Maria
Argentine midfielder Angel di Maria can hardly be called an attractive man. Moreover, many call him an openly scary guy.
What can not be said about the wife of the football player Jorgelin Cardozo. That's really a true beauty next to her ugly husband.
Lionel Messi
Many will be outraged when they see the captain of the Argentina national team and the highest paid football player in the world, Lionel Messi, on this list.
Say, he is far from the most terrible player in world football. Maybe it is so. But against the background of his spectacular beauty of his wife, undersized Messi is clearly losing.
Pepe or Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Képler Laveran Lima Ferreira)
The Portuguese defender Pepe is clearly not a handsome man. What can not be said about his wife, Ana Sofia Moreira, who gave the football player two wonderful children.
According to Pepe himself, his wife for him is both a muse, a fighting girlfriend, and a beloved woman all rolled into one.
Vincent Kompany
The appearance of the Belgian national team player and part-time captain English club Manchester City is also far from ideal.
But his wife Carla Higgs Company is a very spectacular and pretty woman. And, despite the fact that there are some similarities in the appearance of both spouses, Karla clearly outperforms her famous husband in beauty.
Wives and girlfriends of football players
Marouane Fellaini
The Belgian footballer of Moroccan origin is by no means handsome. However, as a companion, he chooses, as a rule, prominent and spectacular girls.
So, for example, there are rumors that the last passion of Fellaini was the Russian model and TV presenter Victoria Bonya, who is considered one of the most beautiful girls and enviable brides of the country.
Footballers' wives
Thomas Muller
German football player Thomas Müller has been married to Lisa Müller for almost 10 years.
And, despite the fact that Muller's appearance can hardly be called attractive, the spouses seem to be an absolutely happy and harmonious couple.
Thomas' physical unattractiveness is offset by the bright and pretty appearance of his wife, Lisa.
Luka Modric
Croatian Luka Modric has been married for 9 years. Vanja Bosnic became the chosen one of the Croatian national team player. The girl is really very bright, prominent and attractive. She just perfectly complements her far from beautiful spouse.
Hector Herrera
The midfielder of the Porto club and Mexico national team player Hector Herrera was also not rewarded by nature with outstanding external data and a beautiful face.
But this did not prevent him from marrying the sweet girl Chantal Mato. Moreover, Chantal can be called a real beauty.
Ugly football players
The ugly players of the 2018 World Cup also include Matthias Ginter (Matthias Ginter), the defender of FC Borussia, as well as Niklas Sule, the defender of the Bayern club.
Both players are players of the German national team. And both athletes, due to their youth, are not yet married.
But judging by the fact that their older comrades do not have problems with the female sex and personal life, it will also not be difficult for them to acquire a beautiful companion in due time.
You can also remember the most ugly football players of the past. According to the fans, the following athletes can be included in this list without hesitation:
Franck Ribery
Carlos Tevez
Ronaldinho (Ronaldinho)
Carles Puyol
Peter Crouch
The editors of the site draw your attention to the fact that all these people, despite the fact that nature did not reward them with good looks, have achieved great success, both on the football field and in their personal lives.
This is another confirmation that appearance is not a priority for a man. And the above examples once again prove that you can be ugly or even frankly scary, but at the same time become successful in your career and a happy person in your personal life.
