🎅 Ho, ho, ho! From Jesus to Noel: check out a festive XI for Christmas | OneFootball

In this Christmas spirit, OneFootball thought of a special selection, from Jesus to Noel, to celebrate this December 25th!

Goalkeeper 🧤

We start with a Noel!

Our goalkeeper is Noel Törnqvist, a Swede from Como, Cesc Fàbregas's team in Italy, who played last season on loan at Mjällby, in Sweden.

Defense 🧱

We set up our defense in a line of three, with the little angel Angeliño, from Roma, on the left, Messias, from Goiás, as the central, and Ma'Noel', from Fluminense, on the right!

Midfield 💭

We go with a line of four in the midfield!

Lucas Evangelista, from Palmeiras, will play as the defensive midfielder, assisted by another Noel, this time Noel Buck, from San Jose Earthquakes.

To create the offensive midfield, we have the angel Ángel Di María, from Rosario Central, and...

Di Natale, in a poetic license, since the Italian is already retired, but the name fits perfectly in this Christmas atmosphere.

Attack 🔥

In attack, there's no mystery!

It's Júnior Messias, from Genoa, with Igor Jesus, a Botafogo idol, currently at Nottingham Forest, and Cristiano Ronaldo!

In etymology, Cristiano comes from the Latin Christianus, which derives from Christus (Christ).

In its literal meaning, the name is related to "Christian," "follower of Christ," or "one who belongs to Christ," something very Christmas-like, right?

Coach 👨‍🏫

The coach of this whole group will be another Jesus, Jorge Jesus, who already manages Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr!
