Barcelona players turn yellow
Neymar, Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta to appear on 'The Simpsons'
Barcelona soccer club is adding one very particular honor to its long list of achievements. Several of its global stars – Neymar, Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta – are set to appear in an episode of The Simpsons about the World Cup.
Scheduled for broadcast in the United States on March 30, the episode features Homer signing up to be a referee after he is moved by a speech made by Lisa. He travels to the World Cup in Brazil where he finds his integrity tested by soccer gangsters offering bribes. Bart is also set to wear a Barça shirt in the episode.
Xavi and Iniesta will be joining the ranks of other Spaniards to have appeared in the 20th-Century Fox series, such as Plácido Domingo and Javier Bardem, who featured as an inspector after his Oscar-winning performance in No Country for Old Men.
Spanish soccer star Fernando Torres has also had his own Simpsons caricature along with fellow Chelsea players Petr Cech, Eden Hazard, Frank Lampard and John Terry, while Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo featured in a previous episode.
