I used to play for Barcelona but now I’m getting rejected by women on First Dates after snogging on TV

A FORMER Barcelona player was rejected by a woman after revealing he had three children.

Juan Carlos claims he played for the La Liga giants between 1998 and 2002, but is now a marble worker.

The 39-year-old says that his footballing career was wrecked after injuries forced him into an early retirement from the sport.

Now his football life is completely behind him, he went into the 'First Dates' restaurant in order to find love.

His entrance was accompanied by the Barcelona anthem as he carried a ball as a nod to his sporting history.

Carlos was set up on a date with a Venezuelan woman named María Gabriela.

She had claimed that she was wanted "a boy like Gerard Pique", so it seemed that it would have been the perfect match.

Maria had only been living in Spain for three months before the date and had struggled to meet people in order to date.

This led her to put her love life into the hands of show host Carlos Sobera and his team.

And the date appeared to be going well as the pair shared a snog in one of the restaurant's booths.

However, that is a good as it got for Carlos as Maria was about to be put off by the news that he had three children.

He told her that he was divorced and all about his family, news that Maria was not keen on.

At the end of their date, Carlos insisted that he would be happy to have a second date, but Maria refused on account of his children.

She said: "I couldn't take it that well", as she outlined that it was the reason behind her rejection.
