7 Instagram filters inspired by football Like the one used by Tigres' French striker André-Pierre Gignac in his last goal celebration

Taking a celebration selfie to post on Instagram following a goal is not such an original idea, it was already seen in 2015 by Francesco Totti just under the Curva Sud and by Mario Balotelli last March after the goal scored with the jersey of Olympique Marseille against Saint Etienne. In October André-Pierre Gignac, the French footballer who has been playing for four seasons in the Mexican league with Tigres, after scoring the 2-0 at Santos Laguna decided to celebrate with his phone by taking a selfie and using his own personal Instagram filter to post it.
Football-themed filters are becoming a trend and more and more clubs and footballers have chosen to publish their own on Instagram, so as to involve their followers in the social activities of the club as well. Inter and Fiorentina were the last teams to launch the filter, but if you are in an artistic crisis for your IG Stories, here are the seven best football-themed filter.


André-Pierre Gignac

What is it exactly? A completely tattooed left arm of the 33 year-old former OM with which he used to cover his face, a habit born a few years ago that within a few hours has become the favorite killtime of many supporters, or footballers friends of him like the Manchester City left-back, his compatriot Benjamin Mendy or Mario Lemina.

If Gignac is the first top player to have tested his own official Instagram filter, which is simply called 'Gignac, from da intellmediamx', on the most popular social network of these times actually there are a lot of funny filters related to the world of football.

 

Black&Blue

That of Inter is a make-up filter. To alternate on your face will be obviously Inter blue strokes, on the cheeks and on the eyes, but also a variant with hearts. Captain Javier Zanetti is on the IG profile of the club to present the filter.

Fiorentina

For Violas’ fans there will no longer be a need to get the Fiorentina logo tattooed on the body, the new Instagram filter allows you to take a selfie with the lily in your face.

Bianconeri 

crests and mottos of the best European teams on your cheeks, from Juventus to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

River Plate 

Why waste time and get your hands dirty to paint yourself with the colours of your favorite team? Just a click to put the Milionarios logo, or that of the rivals of Boca Juniors, on your face.

11 estrellas 

If you want to post a photo with a halo composed of stars that symbolize the titles won by Estudiantes, now you know how to do it.

Ronaldinho 

Undoubtedly the most used filter during last months, this became a real trend at the end of 2018 and also involved Messi, Ronaldo, Dani Alves, Neymar, Puyol, Rivaldo and many other great champions. What's it about? It allows you to virtually wear the Dinho famous armband and start dribbling with the ball.
