Ex-MLB star Alex Rodriguez was at the home of Chelsea Football Club on Wednesday, where he saw his first-ever football game in the United Kingdom.
Ex-MLB star Alex Rodriguez who was a special guest in the Wednesday game in which Chelsea drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion, stated that he was impressed by everything he saw, shared a series of photos from the match. In the snaps, Rodriguez poses in the stands, chats with players, and even speaks into a microphone from the field.
“Tonight I attended my first football match ever. And all I can say is … WOW, what an incredible experience,” he captioned the carousel of images. “As Americans we grow up around the ‘big four’: Baseball, basketball, American football and hockey. But worldwide, it’s obvious that the king of sports is football, or soccer here in the U.S.”

“The facility, the fans, the history. All of it was second to none. 👏 👏 👏,” he added. “I also had the privilege of meeting @cmpulisic and @romelulukaku! They were great to talk with and i have so much respect for the conditioning of these athletes. #superstars.”
Rodriguez is currently single after his breakup with JLo. But has two daughters Natasha, 17, and Ella, 13, which she shares with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis.
