Football stars past and present are celebrating Christmas with their loved ones and sharing the joy on Instagram.

Some didn’t even wait until Christmas Day itself to get their slick family pictures onto social media.

Coleen posted the photo on her Instagram account first, labelling it an ‘amazing day’ and Wayne posted it on Friday.

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski was also quick on the draw with the Christmas family pic.

Wearing a smart navy blazer and roll-neck top, he was seen posing with wife Anna and daughters Klara and Laura, who could well be fighting over a present.

The Poland striker wrote: ‘Wishing you a season full of light, love and laughter for you and your family. Merry Christmas.’

However, the picture of Robert and Anna leaning in to kiss each other was apparently exclusive to her Instagram account.
