Valentine's day: Eight most heart-warming love stories of football

Going the captain obvious way; today is Valentine’s day. It is a day where people express their love and feelings to their beloved. Even though this writer believes that love is eternal and a single day to express it goes against the meaning of love.True love is like the soul, it is without attributes. It is like the fire within a piece of wood – it is not viewable unless another piece of wood is rubbed with it. Similarly, you can’t cut open a body to see if love exists in it – it is a feeling that arouses when souls are ‘rubbed.’Anyways, enough of explaining what love is. If continued, chances are that people will stop expressing love on Valentine’s day and do it on this writer’s birthday instead.Swimming with the tide, here are our top 7 Football couples:

#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Helena Seger

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is famous for many things. Be it outrageous insults to journalists, or reminding a player of his obscure status or telling Pep Guardiola to “go f**k yourself,” – he has done some of the coolest things that most footballers can’t even think of.

But when it comes to Zlatan the husband, he is even cooler.

In 2002, a 21-year-old Ibrahimovic doubled parked his Ferrari beside Helena’s car. Helena was not in the best of moods and hissed at Zlatan. She did a Zlatan to Zlatan and that ignited the spark in the Footballer’s heart. The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, they are the proud parents of two sons and are going stronger than ever as a couple. They are one of the most stable couples in the game – where Footballers change their partner more frequently than clothes – and the love they share shows on their blooming faces when they are together
