10 Football Jersey Numbers With Hidden Meanings

[Music] what if I told you Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest trademark was one season away from never happening or lonel Messi picking a weird ass jersey number was him trying to remember his roots these are the football jersey numbers with secret meanings and wait till you see the number Mario Balotelli picked that turned him into a math genius but first Cristiano Ronaldo was this close to rocking a different trademark in 200 9 after months of speculation Cristiano Ronaldo finally completed a world record move to Real Madrid and set the football World in a frenzy but there was one big problem they still had to address back when he was at United Ronaldo made the number seven become his trademark because in all the years he spent at United Ronaldo created the CR7 brand that turned into a global hit but now he was going to Madrid it wasn't going to be easy getting his favorite shirt number at his new club because the dude wearing the number seven at Los Blancos was an OG of the game too Raul Gonzalez in the end Ronaldo had to settle for a fairly different number and so on Jersey presentation day it was decided that Ronaldo would wear this instead nine but Raul left Madrid that summer and Ronaldo at his former number the next season and to be fair CR7 Just Hits differently and I can't lie it's a really cool trademark not so sure Ivon 1l 8 has the same ring to it this dude literally used calculation symbols on a football jersey now you might remember this guy bagging goals at Chile and Real Madrid but it's what he did at in Milan that made him a cold hero check this out when ion left Madrid for inner he took the number nine jersey as usual but then something strange happened at the start of the 90 8 99 season he had to give the number nine to Ronaldo Nazario because of some kind of deal with Nike but zirano was definitely not going to take that L he decided that if he couldn't have the number nine shirt directly he was going to have it somehow Ivon Zano probably listened a lot in math class as a kid cuz his new jersey number was 18 and he put a plus sign in the middle to equal nine yeah that's right how crazy is that and guess what Zano's crazy number paid off he scored the most goals in his inner career in his first season with a OnePlus 8 Jersey bagging 20 goals and assist in all competitions next up is another guy in love with a number nine and he's not even a number nine he's your favorite Italian footballer that's right John Luigi donaruma the heir to the legendary buffon's goalkeeping Throne is also a fan of wacky numbers when he's not off winning trophies or enjoying French cuisine he's busy rocking the number 99 out in Paris but why did he choose the number 99 you see Gigi was born in 1999 so he decided to rock with 99 and it worked out perfectly for him by the time he turned 16 donaruma was already a Milan starting goalkeeper man imagine how popular he would have been in school going from leaving class to European games and having the girls in his class wear his jersey nowadays Gigi still rocks the number 99 for PSG after trying out the 50 and 16 shirts but there's nothing quite like that old 99 guess you can call it the 4 and five in two places and now this next dude always finds a way to make it to the wacky crazy list why Always him he's fought with his coach created controversies and jumped from Club to Club it's football 's favorite bad boy Mario Balotelli Super Mario has always done things his own way from getting early red cards to wearing rival shirts on TV so it's no surprise he decided to go all out for his shirt number turns out Balotelli was also a fan of math because he wanted to be number nine in a special way so he chose the number 45 because four and five added up to nine but that's not even the wildest thing Balotelli has done remember his training ground fight with Roberto manini yeah that's right he fought with his coach see back in 2016 while he was still at Man City he and manini got into a little bit of a scuffle that ended in his manager saying that he couldn't move him because he was too strong new boss of the team Roberto manini couldn't let that happen so he shipped him off to AC Milan on loan and my man kept bouncing from Team to team after that what a guy kind of wish Balotelli and and Nicholas betnar had played for the same Club at the same time because these two dudes made traditional shirt numbers sound like a joke Lord betnar our Lord and goat rocked three different numbers at Arsenal and each one was madder than the last he started off with 33 then switched to 26 but listen this is where it all gets crazy Lord Bard's mom visited a psychic and that dude told her that the number eight is an unlucky number and guess guess what 2 + 6 equal 8 so obviously Lord betnar had to switch it up and my man wanted the number seven but no way Thomas rosit was going to let that go so he decided to get a little bit creative that's our lord petner well at least he got an explanation that fits Trent Alexander Arnold made a number Famous because he was too lazy to change it seeing Trent wear the number 66 you'd probably think it's some kind of tribute to England's 1966 World Cup win or one of his parents was born in 1966 but that's not it at all dude probably got slapped with this number in the academy by some strict coach and decided it was his lucky number we got a Champions League winner rocking a silly number for the fun of it and guess what he's cooking your favorite team while at it my man's probably going to hit a 100 PL assist with a 66 on his back and Inspire some kid out there to rock it as well well we're in for more silliness guys and we can't forget this absolute legend for the OG's who watched the 2010 World Cup you can't forget Ghana's hero asamoa Gian my man carried Ghana all the way to the semis but why was the dude rocking a fullbacks number I'm sure I wasn't the only one confused seeing someone wearing a defender's number always scoring goals Gian loved the number three so much that he switched from 3 to 33 back to to three at Sunderland but that's not a surprise he got the number from his big bro too so that's probably why he's attached to it talk about commitment and family issues yes it's easy to see where central C got his inspiration from the number three should be reserved for fullbacks man like this OG back in the day liar Azu who instead of three picked a number that had people scratching their heads trying to figure this one out 69 it turns out that lisar razo's connection with 69 goes beyond just a random coincidence see he was born in the year 1969 that's just the beginning of the number Saga standing at 1.69 M tall lizarazu seems to be living in a world where 69 follows him everywhere but wait there's more at a certain point in time lizarazu weighed in at 69 kg that's right the Stars aligned and the scale settled at 69 man it's almost like the UN Universe plotted to make the number 69 a central theme in his life and he answered the universe by making 69 his jersey number two now if you're talking about players with style that Chang the game you got to mention this guy this baller always played with a smile and still cooked your team's defender on any given day so if my guy says he wants an unusual number he might as well get it after moving from barca to AC Milan he couldn't get his preferred number 10 shirt cuz the legendary seedorf had it so he got a pretty weird number instead why well you got to ask the man himself anyway the change didn't affect the legend he put that 80 on his back and rocked the citya 80 10 same Killa kind of seems like the multiples of 10 thing are for the OG's man Ronaldo's former Prodigy ended up doing the same thing after a crazy move in 2021 lonel Messi the Maestro of Barcelona caused the buzz when he swapped his iconic number 10 for the unfamiliar number 30 at Paris sanjon talk about a plot twist after the Barca departure drama right fans were left wondering what number would Messi wear at PSG especially with Neymar already rocking the number 10 now there were rumors about Neymar offering Messi the coveted number but Messi being the legend he is declined out of respect the big reveal shocked everyone Messi went for the number 30 fans used to seeing him in the legendary number 10 still find it unreal but the number 30 was the first number messy war after being promoted from the youth team to the senior team in Barcelona can't lie this one still feels weird but he the guys running Finance in Paris certainly weren't complaining because that jersey number sold like crazy and I heard the only guys who got VIP passes in Jersey rooms were the dudes who already subscribed to goal Zone they let bought Messi's jersey with subscription links instead of ticket passes the ultimate goat pass insane stuff
