How does Julian Draxler’s huge birthday cake compare in the pantheon of football sponge?
The sport has a long and storied relationship with cake.
Paris St Germain midfielder Julian Draxler has posted a picture of his massive birthday cake, with two huge tiers and a cakey PSG shirt on top.

Here’s former Bolton manager Sam Allardyce presenting Jay-Jay Okocha (so good they named him twice) with a pretty small cake.
Here’s former Manchester United man Sir Alex Ferguson slicing into a shirt to celebrate 100 years of the club – pretty basic stuff compared to Draxler’s dessert.
What about Paul Scholes, not for the first time shunted out to the left in favour of a flashier player/cake.
Here, Peter Schmeichel accidentally offers a glimpse into what the impending demolition of the old Wembley Stadium would look like.
