Arsenal and Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina has explained his role in helping Real Madrid star James Rodriguez date his sister and get the approval from the family.
The two are said to have met when Ospina introduced the two and they would go on to marry in 2010, before having a daughter together.
Ospina certainly played his part in the relationship coming about, as he talked about in a recent interview with Fox Sports.

The former Nice man explained how his sister Daniela, a professional volleyball player, was smitten by Rodriguez but he had to get involved to help "get him into the family".
He said:
"James left Colombia when he was very young. I did not have the chance to meet him at that time. Then my sister told me she was dating a Colombian player. I had to help a lot because the old ones did not quite agree. I said be quiet, that everything is organised. James stole the heart of my sister but I had to help get him into the family."
Not a bad little family they've got going is it? David playing for Arsenal and Colombia, his brother-in-law playing for Real Madrid and captaining his native Colombia - then throw in his wife and David's younger sister who plays volleyball for VP Madrid and you have quite the star-studded mix.
