Over the years that Sky has broadcast satellite and digital television into our homes in the UK, they have built up quite an impressive portfolio of sports that are shown regularly on their Sky Sports channels. Tennis, rugby and cricket are all shown each week on Sky and watched by a large amount of people but it seems to be football that captures the Sky Sports viewers’ imagination.

This may not seem that surprising given that football is the most popular sport, not just in this country but worldwide, and if one takes a look at the scheduling of channels such as Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports News then it is clear that, although other sports are important, football is very much a central theme. Of all the football shown on Sky Sports, the English Premier League is, rightly, the number one attraction and the country’s most famous footballers strut their stuff on the channels every week.

The English Premier League is not the only one of the world's top professional leagues that is shown on Sky Sports though as fans of European football can also tune into the Spanish Primera Liga to watch even more of the world's top stars in action. Over the last few years, some of the World's top players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso and Karim Benzema have joined the league establishing the competition as one of the very top competitions in the world. Hot matches such as “el Classico”, the clash between red hot rivals (and the country’s two top teams) Barcelona and Real Madrid, also serve as a showcase for the world's two greatest footballers in Lionel Messi, 22-year-old Argentine winger and and the aforementioned Ronaldo.

With football of this quality on offer every week throughout the season fans of the game seem spoilt for choice with the wide variety of soccer skills on offer to the viewing public.
