GETTY
11Alexis Sanchez has been compared to Game of Thrones character Cersei LannisterAnd his shortcomings at United have been compared to the Game of Thrones character given how lucrative his deal is.Lena Heardley, who plays Cersei in the popular TV series, reportedly earned $1million per episode for the latest season.Given how little screen time the actress is given in the final ever season, fans on Twitter were quick to make the comparison with Sanchez given how little he has delivered since his move in January 2018.But here at talkSPORT.com, it got us thinking about the other comparisons which could be made with footballers and characters from the world of the Iron Throne.Scroll down to see who your favourite character would be!
Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish – Jose Mourinho
11‘Littlefinger’ and Mourinho certainly have the cunning and resourcefulness to survive at the topA tactical manipulator and able to influence those around him, ‘Littlefinger’ eventually succumbed to a gruesome ending after spreading scurrilous lies and trying to weaken those around him.While Jose Mourinho may not be as destructive, the Portuguese possesses tremendous amounts of charisma and charm. His reign at Manchester United may have come to a premature end, but the ‘Special One’ will be back.
Arya Stark – N’Golo Kante
11Don’t let the smiles fool you, Arya and Kante can be viciously ruthlessArya Stark had to climb the ranks of society after escaping persecution from the House of Lannister – eventually exacting retribution for the wrongs in her early life.Similarly, Kante had to climb through the doldrums of Ligue 2 to make it to the very top – eventually becoming a World Cup winner and a two-time Premier League winner.
Jon Snow – Steven Gerrard
11Formerly Kings in the North and universally lovedJon Snow is revealed to be
Aegon Targaryenlater in the series and his fierce loyalty and bravery take him right to the very top. Universally loved and respected for his triumphs, his shortcomings make him somewhat of a tragic hero.Regardless of your club affiliation, Steven Gerrard’s ‘Roy of the Rovers’ tale with Liverpool is extremely commendable and his technical ability were lauded throughout the world. But glory always seem to evade the midfielder at the final moment as his slip against Chelsea in 2014 shows.
Jamie Lannister – Cristiano Ronaldo
11Lethal and not afraid to evolve, the similarities between Ronaldo and Jaime are plentifulEarning the nickname of ‘The King Slayer’ for his early exploits, Jaime Lannister is one of the most lethal hunters in all of the game after years of perfecting his craft. In the face of adversity, the eldest son of Tywin evolved to the challenges life presented him.Likewise, Cristiano Ronaldo was feared throughout Europe as a winger capable of leaving defenders clutching their ankles in pain. But as his pace began to wane, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward has changed his game – but lost none of his predatory instincts now at Juventus.
Stannis Baratheon – Arsene Wenger
11Could have ruled over everything, too stubborn to change their waysStannis possesses all of the qualities to sit at the Iron Throne and makes it his sole mission to rule over all. His single-mindedness sees him attack King’s Landing and Winterfell – but fails in both of his quests.Arsene Wenger was, at one point, one of the greatest managers in the world. But Arsenal fans grew weary of his stubborn ways and his man-management skills blurred his obvious credentials.
Samwell Tarly – Cesar Azpilicueta
11Seemingly lacking in physical prowess, but do a job wherever they find themselvesAgainst his wishes, Samwell Tarly joined the Night Watch. Although he may not look like the most obvious choice for a warrior, Jon Snow’s closest friend is intelligent, well-educated, and insightful and uses all his knowledge in battle.Similarly, when Azpilicueta arrived at Chelsea in 2012 he was primarily a right back. Yet, despite standing at just 1.78m, the Spaniard has mastered every position in defence with little fuss and is very adept at dealing with much larger strikers.
The Mountain – Adebayo Akinfenwa
11One of the more obvious comparisonsJust look at the size of them…
Varys – Zinedine Zidane
11Follicly challenged, tactically astuteA skilled manipulator and with an army at his disposal, Varys the Master of Whisperers seeks to bring peace to the Seven Kingdoms. Never afraid to stick with a winner, Varys is highly respected and able to survive at the top.When Zidane was appointed as Real Madrid boss in 2016, little was expected of the World Cup winner. But his man-management skills and calm demeanour earned him the respect of his players and bore great success. The Frenchman has since been brought back to the Bernabeu to clean up the mess his successors caused.
11Tendency to unravel just before the endBlessed with incredible self-belief to match her undoubted skills, Daenerys Targaryen is not afraid to claim what is hers by whatever means necessary. After defeating the living in the battle of ‘Fire and Ice’, Daenerys allows herself to succumb to madness and embarks on a devastating and potentially fatal campaign of revenge.At Manchester City, Yaya Toure proved he had the skills, physical attributes to move out of the shadow of his brother. Unstoppable on his day, the Ivorian eventually began to collect silverware at the Etihad, but his meltdown over a birthday cake (or lack thereof) proved to be the end of the midfielder’s career in England.
Tyrion Lannister – Lionel Messi
11Highly skilled and extremely popular, despite their small statureDespite facing constant persecution over his height, Tyrion Lannister has used his wit and intellect to overcome all the obstacles in his path. Despite being born into the House of Lannister, Tyrion displays tremendous loyalty to the House of Targaryen.As a child, Messi was given growth hormones to help him develop into a man and the results have been simply incredible. His technical abilities and honesty have endeared him to fans of all teams and he is seen as one of the moist skilful players ever.
