During New York City Football Club's first year as a franchise in 2015, David Villa drove himself to practice. The former star for Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and others would leave his Manhattan apartment, hop into his Bentley and navigate to NYCFC's training facility in suburban New Jersey. On some days, he'd make a pit stop before crossing the Hudson River, to pick up his teammate, Mix Diskerud.
One morning, Villa had grabbed Diskerud and the pair started out to training when Spain's all-time leading scorer realized that his car needed gas. The duo pulled into a station, going unrecognized by the attendant who came to pump the petrol.
