Lionel Messi’s outfit in a photo tweeted by Rafinha after Barca beat Real caused quite the stir. His teammates’ fashion choices didn’t help either.

Steven Gerrard raises eyebrows
Steven Gerrard spent 38 seconds on the pitch during Liverpool’s home defeat to Manchester United before he was sent off for stamping on Ander Herrera. It was an explicable move from the Liverpool legend who is working really hard on bidding his side farewell on a low note.
Missed the first minute anything happened?

Gerrard’s first tackle showed he was pumped up – but absolutely no excuse for second reaction that got him sent off. http://t.co/4nzYC5sKtH

Tweetlets
You know what they say…. when in Miami, practice with a DJ. Actually no-one says that but it seems French tennis ace Gael Monfils has found the perfect hitting partner in DJ Bob Sinclar, who posted a photo following one of their sessions. Meanwhile in Indian Wells, a tennis phenom and ice hockey superstar united. Ex-Al Ahli striker Grafite got nostalgic, remembering the first trophy he won with the Red Knights.
Unreal meeting the great one, thanks for your time @officialgretzky #legend pic.twitter.com/tkSNdN3X8e
