Thinking of fancasting footballers as mythological characters 😭😭 Any mythology around the world is accepted. Any ideas?
@hattrickprincess and I thought long and hard about this, here’s what we came up with:
Messi as Zeus, Neymar could be Poseidon (but Icarus also fits), Ronaldo as Hades
Then Marcelo would be Persephone (hahasjksk)
Vini and Rodrygo as Apollo and Artemis (LOVE the thought of them being twins)
Kylian as Hermes (because of his speed and he acts like an annoying younger brother more often than not haha)
Griezmann as Aphrodite (man is BEAUTIFUL)
Gavi and pedri as Loki and Thor (gavi being the troublemaking little brother and pedri the exasperated older brother who loves him too much to let him get in trouble) AND Lewa could be Odin (their father lmaoo)
Halaand and Jude as Achilles and Patroclus (they fit so well??)
Jack Grealish as Dionysus (hilarious, chaotic, just enjoying life)
Harry maguire as Hypnos (for obvious reasons lmao)
Trent as Adonis.
Zlatan as Thanatos (can’t think of any other footballer who fits Thanatos more than Zlatan does)
Virgil as Heracles (their muscles strength)
Pele as Aenaeas and Ronaldinho as Romolus (without them rome wouldn’t be what it is today and Pele & Ronaldinho are two of the main reasons why Brazil is Brazil)
Zidane as Chiron
Saka as Psyche (she’s beautiful, modest, kind just like Saka)
Honorary mention: Suarez as Cerberus (that legendary bite...I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself)
