From Nobility to the World Cup: This Baron Belongs to the Royal Family and Plays for Sweden
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
MONTERREY, Mexico — Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are part of the royalty of soccer that graces the 2026 World Cup in North America. But if you're looking for real-life aristocracy, then the team to follow is Sweden's national squad. Gustaf Lagerbielke, a 26-year-old defender who played the entire match on Sunday as Sweden crushed Tunisia 5-1, is a baron from a noble family in Sweden. His father and grandfather are counts. Generally, soccer players come from modest backgrounds, like Messi and Ronaldo, for example. That is not the case for Lagerbielke.
