He was a world champion like Messi, he earned millions of euros and now he sells cakes for a living

There are few footballers who can go down in history for leading a team to the greatest and winning a World Cup with their team. But the money earned, be it by salary or by tournaments, can play a trick and take the player to the bottom, having to practice another profession to live.

This is Joan Capdevila, figure of Deportivo la Coruña. The left back knew how to be one of the key players when playing relevant tournaments for the Spanish institution. He became a historic player for the club after being selected by the Spanish team to play in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The Spanish footballer remained in the history of Deportivo la Coruña after being an important pillar at the time of winning a Spanish Super Cup and a Copa del Rey. Wearing this jersey, he played 230 games, where he was able to convert 19 goals and five assists.

With the Spanish National Team, in addition to the World Cup, he managed to be champion of Euro 2008 played in Austria and Switzerland. With La Roja he played 60 games, managing to convert four goals. Within the defense he was one of the figures that played the most.

What are you doing today?

After his retirement, Capdevila made the decision to dedicate himself to the production of cakes on the reality show called Bake Off. On the other hand, he has his appearances in the flashy King's League, where he earns just 75 euros per game.
