The top 10 best-selling football shirts across all of Europe have been revealed, and neither Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo are top.
With less than two weeks to go until Christmas Day, plenty of people will be scrambling to buy a football shirt as a gift for someone in their life.
Of course, which shirt they decide to buy as a gift will massively depend on the personal preferences of whoever they are buying for.
That being said, there are some players that, due to their popularity online, the club they play for or their abilities on the pitch, will always sell more shirts than their peers.
