Most high-profile footballers live decadent lives, mostly playing a child's game in front of thousands of fawning fans and lounging on boats in exotic locations. Crystal Palace central defender Mamadou Sakho (on loan from Liverpool) takes that to a whole new level.
With Crystal Palace not in action this weekend, Sakho used his break time to go to the United Arab Emirates and do some cool stuff. Here he is holding a lion:

That lion looks like it might be too big for people to safely hold it, but it also looks like it's pretty chill with being held, so whatever.
And here's a video of Sakho feeding a giraffe with his mouth.
If we were a professional footballer, we would hope to live life like Mamadou Sakho, all smiles and exotic animals. If anyone has a lion or a giraffe we can meet, let us know.
