Is the photo of Sergio Busquets legs and long feet real as it goes viral on Twitter
The Barcelona legend posed for a photo alongside their Inter Miami teammate Lionel Messi with the Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero’s son Benjamin, who is also the late Diego Maradona’s grandson through his mother. Although fans were thrilled to see the collaboration, a false photo circulated on social media before the site itself exposed it as a hoax.
Before the explanation, one response had asked, “How is this possible?” Another supporter commented, “Always knew that brother is not human.” A third person chimed in, “Wait! Is this real??” With a link to the original, unedited photo, Twitter, or X, simply stated: “That’s an edited image.”
The Barcelona trio is being pursued by Inter Miami.
Under the watchful eye of co-owner David Beckham, Gerardo Martino has taken control at Inter Miami after a disastrous start to the season under Phil Neville. The World Cup-winning Spaniard Busquets is Messi’s teammate on 569 occasions, more than any other former Barcelona teammate, thanks to the statement signing of Messi on a free transfer from PSG. Jordi Alba has since joined them after initially remaining on the sidelines to observe Messi display his enduring brilliance.
The legendary player from Argentina made his debut against Cruz Azul with a free-kick winner in extra time. He later scored twice and assisted on another in their victory against Atlanta. Having won five of their 22 games so far, the goal is now to move up the standings during the remaining MLS season.
