After a hard-fought win on a football pitch that was more mud than grass, there are few things more warming and enjoyable than a warm, well-made pizza.
This is as true for any Sunday league player as it is for those at the highest level, as Paris Saint-Germain's players went for a bite to eat on Thursday afternoon.
One Wednesday night, PSG had reached the Coupe de France quarter-finals with a 2-0 win away to second-tier Niort, on a pitch so boggy the game was almost called off.

Some of the team's biggest stars - Marco Verratti, Julian Draxler, Blaise Matuidi and Thomas Meunier - made their own pizzas, with their efforts posted to Draxler's Instagram page.
Verratti sits at the front of the picture, the Italian seemingly having taken the lead with his national dish - and with some success, as the pizzas look to be in good shape.
The other three had all played in the cup game, which saw PSG keep their hopes for a treble alive with what was a routine victory.
It took until the 78th minute before Javier Pastore finally opened the scoring, with Edinson Cavani adding the second deep into stoppage time.
