Blatant hoax, but declined CSD-G3. Much of the text is from Xavi, with Barcelona substituted with Real Madrid. 19 years old but has been playing for Real Madrid for 13 years? Does not appear in any news articles or promotional material despite a claimed 38 goals in 53 appearances for the team. Does not appear in the Sri Lankan team rosta here. Recommend speedy delete.

Nobody touching this one? Okay here's some evidence:
- The article looks a lot like that of Barcelona player Xavi's
- It says that "Geethgajan Keith Gauthum" is pronounced shavee (which is how Xavi is pronounced)
- Apparently Geethgajan Keith Gauthum plays as number 18 for Real Madrid... Real Madrid seem to think their number 18 is Raúl Albiol
- Geethgajan was allegedly named man of the match in the 2009 Champions League Final when he helped Real Madrid beat Manchester United. Real Madrid were actually knocked out at the first knockout round of the 2008-09 Champions League and the final was played between Barcelona and Manchester United. Xavi was named man of the match.
This article is deliberately misleading. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 13:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Delete blatant hoax. 10 seconds reading the article would be enough for anyone who knows anything at all about football and for those that don't, 20 seconds research would prove beyond doubt that 90% of the article is verifiable hoax.--ClubOranjeT 14:09, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
