Platini spotted alone

A fan spotted Michel Platini walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 20, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Michel back on the market?

A rep for Michel Platini was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the footballer was splitting hit the internet Saturday (February 21), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Michel’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Platini spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
