Liverpool FC star Albert Riera ties the knot
June 4 2009 by Tina Miles, Liverpool Echo
LIVERPOOL left-winger Albert Riera tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Yulia Koroleva in Omsk, Siberia at the weekend.
The Spanish star first met the Russian beauty in 2001 in Mallorca where he was playing for the local team in La Liga and she was on holiday.
He said: “I was on the leave after the season and one night went to a disco. I saw Yulia there, we looked at each other and I realised she was the girl I had been looking for.
“She was so beautiful and we've been together ever since.”
Yulia followed the player to Bordeaux, then Espanyol and Manchester City, where he was on loan, before signing for Liverpool last summer.
But he won’t be leaving the city if his WAG has anything to do with it.
She said: “I’m fed up with having to move places all the time.
“I want stability. It’s now even more important after the birth of our daughter.”
