Lionel Messi's incredible 7% of all Barcelona goals, another Neville signs for Manchester United - best of the week

The football season feels like it is well and truly under way - again. Sub-plots are thickening around Europe, from Liverpool playing like champions after their Manchester City humbling, to the red-hot title race in Spain between Real Madrid and Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona.

Here's the best of social media this week:

Lionel Messi's numbers just grow and grow

We all know Messi is the GOAT. And we all know that Barcelona have scored a lot of goals during their glittering history. But scratch the surface of this tweet and you find just how influential Messi has been ... he's scored more than 7 per cent of Barca's La Liga goals (ever), and more than 20 per cent of their Uefa Champions League goals.

The new / old Barcelona shirt

Staying on Barcelona for now, they've literally changed the sponsor and added a yellow pine stripe from the 2010/11 shirt, haven't they? Fans who still have that shirt need not to bother buying a new one next season.

Neville lines up for Manchester United

Barely a teamsheet went by without a "Neville" on it during Manchester United's glory years of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Brothers Gary and Phil were part of the Old Trafford furniture, having come up through the ranks. And now there's another Neville on the cusp of the big time - this time Phil's son Harvey, who has signed his first pro deal at the club.

Jack Grealish strikes back

He's one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League, but Jack Grealish looks like he's heading for relegation with Aston Villa. Having taken a kicking on the pitch as the most fouled player in the league, he then took one in the media from pundit and former Liverpool manager and hardman Graeme Souness, who blamed Grealish's lack of awareness for the statistic. Grealish couldn't resist a few words in response.

Son Heung-min and Hugo Lloris share 'beautiful' moment

It wasn't so beautiful an hour earlier when the Tottenham goalkeeper and attacker were on the cusp of a boxing match after the half-time whistle during their side's 1-0 win over Everton.

The pair's scuffle was probably the highlight of the drab encounter, and the "beautiful" tag was courtesy of manager Jose Mourinho.

Bring your own seat

Staying at home and watching the match on TV clearly isn't enough for some fans during the pandemic.

Skill school

Children, adults, it doesn't matter how old you are, nutmegs never get tiring. Unless you're on the wrong end of one, of course.

These kids couldn't get enough. Just look at that enthusiasm and love for the game (and nutmegs).

What is a calorie?

A food calorie, or kilocalorie, is a measure of nutritional energy generated from what is consumed.

One calorie, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C.

A kilocalorie represents a 1,000 true calories of energy.

Energy density figures are often quoted as calories per serving, with one gram of fat in food containing nine calories, and a gram of protein or carbohydrate providing about four.

Alcohol contains about seven calories a gram.

Five famous companies founded by teens

There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:

Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.
