Rafael Nadal swapped Centre Court for a seat in the Anfield stands on Wednesday night as he cheered on Real Madrid against Liverpool in the Champions League.
The tennis legend, who hung up his racquet at the Davis Cup in Malaga last week, is an ardent Madrid supporter and was pictured taking his place in a box for the match.
It was a busy day for Rafa, who also visited the City Football Academy and shared a hug with Pep Guardiola alongside meeting several stars.
The tennis legend, 38, also met Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, and Manuel Akanji on his visit to the Premier League champions’ training centre.
Rafa is a big football fan and showed promise as a child before focusing fully on tennis.
His uncle, Miguel Angel Nadal, played for Barcelona and Spain.
