Football fans have joked Mark Goldbridge was “chatting up” Alisha Lehmann during their unexpected collab at Ballers League.

Lehmann, a former WSL star dubbed the ‘World’s Sexiest Footballer’, co-owns a team in the competition.

'The future of football'
Football fans have taken to social media to comment on the first outing for the Baller League – and the overall sentiment is positive.
Here are just some of the comments on X, formerly Twitter, with one supporter claiming it's the "future of football".
Then again, not everyone is convinced ...
‘Wasn’t on my bingo card’ – Fans baffled as Mark Goldbridge chats to Alisha Lehmann
Football fans have joked Mark Goldbridge was "chatting up" Alisha Lehmann during their unexpected collab at Ballers League.
The YouTuber and Manchester United fan joined the Juventus star to discuss the tournament's opening matches from London's Copper Box.
Lehmann, a former WSL star dubbed the 'World's Sexiest Footballer', co-owns a team in the competition.
The 26-year-old joined up with TV personality Maya Jama to watch their MVPs United face FC Rule The World.
During the contest, Sky viewers were treated to a sit-down interview between streamer Goldbridge and the Swiss striker.
But in an awkward start, Goldbridge said: "We're going to have to share the microphone. It's a technical issue."
Lehmann claimed she was delighted with her team's 5-4 victory in the tournament opener.
But the interview had to be cut short as a flustered Goldbridge appeared to forget if MVPs United had won a bonus point.
A magical reunion?
John Terry (maybe jokingly) had suggested that he was considering a reunion with a pair of former Chelsea LEGENDS.
Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba were the talk of the commentary, with Terry keeping them on speed dial.
Each side is given a wildcard, and JT may have to give his old friends a ring sooner than expected after his opening day defeat.

Tough start for Terry
John Terry’s team were the one to watch ahead of night 1.
Baller League fans were eagerly anticipating the debut of the legendary Chelsea captain in the dugout, but his first outing fell flat.
There was a lot of talk of how his side would set up defensively, but Terry’s side were beaten by SDS FC.
Lead by Sharky, SDS FC beat the 26ers 5-2, seeing them second bottom after night 1.

Yanited take early lead
Angry Ginge's side beat N5 FC in the opening match of Baller League UK.
Their 7-2 saw them go top, but nobody was able to overtake them in the following five fixtures, so they lead early doors.
Don't need Defoe
Angry Ginge's Yanited cruised to a 7-2 victory on opening night, and are now top of Baller League after week one.
However, throughout the night, Ginge revealed he was given the chance to wildcard Jermaine Defoe - but DECLINED.
Instead, he insisted he would use the players he had drafted throughout the first night.
It turned out to be a good decision - but they could have scored even more with Defoe up top!
