Every Wednesday, we round up the offbeat stories making their rounds in the football world. Today, read about Puyol’s girlfriend,
Don’t worry folks, you didn’t miss out on Malena Costa and Puyol’s wedding of the century (collective eye-rolls, we see!) – she’s wearing a wedding dress in that fofo car to celebrate her ‘Queen of Cava 2011‘ title in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Barcelona. Every year, the municipality in Catalonia holds a traditional pageant-like ceremony where the winner gets to ride in the car – and have her very own toasting ceremony, just like a bride!

“I have my apartment in Barcelona and Puyol (has) his, and so far, this is how we will stay, each in our own (places).”

Meanwhile, here’s Ashley Cole stumbling out of the Playboy Club – a frequent haunt of footballers in London last night! Still oozing with class, you bet.
