Soccer host and model Eva Murati skillfully extends a middle finger to those itching for fall in her bikini

I may never have written a more accurate headline than the one I wrote last summer when I brilliantly announced, "Nobody Bikini Vacations Harder Than Champions League Host & Model Eva Murati."

It was true then and it's true now. It was at the exact same time that it is now. It was August, we were waiting for football season to kickoff, and the Albanian actress, model, and host was going as hard as someone can go on a vacation.

There was intent, beyond making sure she remained the internet's favorite Champions League host.
