🎃 Turning Football Moments into Halloween Fun: My Latest Animation with Bleacher Report

With Halloween around the corner, I had the chance to create a new football-inspired animation in collaboration with Bleacher Report — and it was one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on recently.

This short animation takes classic Halloween themes and blends them with the personalities of today’s biggest football stars. Arsenal’s defenders guard their spooky home behind a “NO ENTRY” goal gate, Haaland storms the streets as a Viking, Mbappé glides through the night as a Ninja Turtle, and Harry Kane appears as a (very serious) British royal guard. Even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo make a cameo in full GOAT costumes, adding an extra layer of fun.

What makes these projects exciting is the creative freedom to re-imagine football moments in unexpected, humorous ways — turning simple ideas into quick, expressive animated scenes that fans around the world can enjoy in just a few seconds. Working with the BR team always adds a collaborative spark, and I’m grateful for their trust and support.

As always, my goal is to deliver stories that make people smile, whether they’re football fans or just enjoying the Halloween spirit.
More fun animations coming soon!

Luís Figo’s Iconic Goal Against England – A Moment of Genius Frozen in Football History

Few goals in international football are remembered with the same admiration as Luís Figo’s stunning strike against England. It wasn’t just a goal—it was a declaration of genius. During the match, Figo picked up the ball deep in midfield, accelerated past defenders with his trademark elegance, and unleashed a long-range rocket that left the English goalkeeper with no chance. It was the kind of goal that defined an era and cemented Figo as one of the greatest players of his generation.

This legendary moment continues to inspire football fans and artists around the world—including myself. Recently, my friend Mohammad Harb had the privilege of presenting my cartoon artwork of Luís Figo directly to the Portuguese legend. Seeing my illustration reach the man who scored that unforgettable goal was a proud moment and a perfect reminder of how football and art can intersect in the most meaningful ways.

Figo’s goal against England remains a symbol of creativity, confidence, and pure talent—qualities that continue to resonate with fans and creators alike. And just like that iconic strike, moments like meeting him through my artwork will stay with us forever.

Vini Jr vs Xabi Alonso

In one of the most unexpected moments of El Clásico, Vinicius Jr refused to walk off the pitch after Xabi Alonso called for his substitution. What began as a tense football situation quickly turned into pure comedy when Pedri grabbed Vinicius’ shirt, unintentionally “pinning” him to the ground like a cartoon character stuck in place.

The playful chaos of the moment inspired a short animated parody where Vinicius clings to the field, Pedri stretches his shirt like rubber, and Xabi Alonso tries desperately to pull his star player off the pitch. It’s a lighthearted take on a heated rivalry, showing how football’s biggest matches can still deliver moments of pure fun.

This humorous twist on a real incident highlights how easily dramatic football scenes can become perfect cartoon material — especially when the personalities involved are as expressive as Vinicius and Pedri.

Yamal vs Real Madrid: Messi’s Heir or Neymar’s Shadow? 😎✂️

Before El Clásico, Lamine Yamal was loud.

He mocked Real Madrid, talked big, and carried himself like the next Messi.
The hype around him was huge — a young superstar ready to conquer the Bernabéu… or so he thought.

When the whistle blew, reality hit hard.
Mbappé and Bellingham led Real Madrid to a 2–1 victory, silencing Yamal and Barcelona in front of the world.
The kid who spoke too much suddenly had nothing left to say.

But beyond the memes and the banter, a bigger question started to rise:
👉 Is Yamal truly the heir to Messi… or is he becoming the next Neymar?

Yamal clearly has Messi’s talent — dazzling footwork, speed, and vision.

But his off-pitch lifestyle, attitude, and theatrics are starting to resemble Neymar more than Messi.
And that’s where the debate begins.

Talent can make you a star.
But legacy? That’s built on discipline, mentality, and consistency — and that’s what separates Messi from Neymar.

Yamal has the world watching him.
Will he follow the path of greatness… or the path of entertainment?

👑 For now, Real Madrid had the last laugh.

Bellingham Finally Scores… Just Before El Clásico 🔥⚽

After 204 long days without scoring, Jude Bellingham finally found the back of the net again. The moment came in Real Madrid’s 1–0 victory over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League.

The goal wasn’t ordinary — it was a bit of football magic. Vinicius Jr. unleashed a powerful shot that crashed off the post. And as if the post had planned it, the ball bounced perfectly toward Bellingham. The English star didn’t hesitate, calmly slotting the ball into the net and ending his goal drought in front of thousands of cheering Madridistas.

The celebration said it all: relief, joy, and a spark of confidence. As his teammates ran to hug him, Bellingham’s eyes told a different story — a look of determination. With El Clásico just around the corner, this goal could be the perfect turning point for him.

Real Madrid will face Barcelona in one of football’s greatest rivalries, and Bellingham’s return to scoring form adds even more anticipation to the big clash.
