This was Messi in 2016:
“For me, the national team is over. I think it’s over for me with the national team. It’s not for me. I’ve done all I can. It hurts not to be a champion. It’s been four finals. I tried everything possible. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. I wanted it more than anyone.”
That was your “humble” Messi after losing to Chile o. Nothing like "We tried" or "The boys tried" o.
Messi could do or say anything. It is when it comes to Ronaldo that you draw the line.
At this point, it is no longer an agenda. It is beginning to look like personal hatred. What exactly did Ronaldo do to you, Mr Toby? 😂
“I will not be ‘more Cristiano’ if we win the World Cup, or ‘less Cristiano’ if we don’t win it” - Cristiano Ronaldo 🐐
You don’t know what you’ve done for me with this statement Ororo. I fvcking love you forever 😍❤️❤️
“Tonight I suffered with Argentina”
How do you even convince people that this organization isn’t favoring Messi when the president openly declared his support for Argentina?
Liar. We judged you because we stuck with you during your darkest days. Arsene continue to extend your contract even when we hardly get anything from you because you’re always injured. I could remember one unnecessary friendly that you went to play against Brazil & got injured. It was a Felipe Melo tackle and you came back to the treatment room once again even when you’re warn to prioritize the club. We still stuck with you after that and just a good season and half, contract came and you assured us you’re gonna sign, you highlighted how the club supported you, your family, your household and even made reference to your grandpa who was at the time 90+ years, how your wife and children feel at home but in the end you showed us your true colors. I didn’t even believe it until I read life on your website. You degraded Wenger who above all trusted you through your darkest days. You degraded your teammates. You degraded the fans and the board. In all of these you acted like you didn’t care but now you want to save face and pretend all is well @Persie_Official … we don’t know you and never will.
As incredible as Messi is, credit must go to this Argentina team. They create chances for him, respect him, and understand they have to do more for him now that he’s older. Ronaldo is so unlucky playing with those disrespectful Portuguese babies.
🚨🗣 Luis Figo on the the current situation of the Portugal NT:
"Some of these players clearly don't want him (Ronaldo) on the team. They think he's holding them back, but they forget EVERYTHING he has done for this country. The young Cristiano didn't need anyone else to score goals. He won matches all by himself. He carried Portugal for YEARS. Cristiano Ronaldo IS Portugal. He deserves respect and a farewell worthy of a LEGEND.
When Cristiano got his first call-up, he respected all the senior players. Now we have arrogant kids who have achieved nothing. He is the reason we even believe we can win a World Cup. He is the inspiration for everyone." 🇵🇹🏆
Absolutely immense season. Champions of England. Didnt lose a single UCL game in full time. Rivals waited until the last kick of the season.
Never been a better time to support Arsenal. He is staying. He is hungry. He will fix the roof while the sun is shining.
Arsenal FC ❤️

“For over twenty years, my wife never truly believed in Arsenal again and honestly, I couldn’t blame her. I still remember that painful night when we lost the UEFA Champions League final to Barcelona. I was completely shattered, standing in the living room, angry, emotional, and devastated over a football match. She couldn’t understand how something like that could hurt so deeply. I didn’t eat. I barely spoke. And somehow, that moment lingered in our home for years.
From that day, she became the biggest skeptic in the house. Even if we were 3–0 up with just minutes left, she’d still expect us to slip and somehow lose 😭 The emotional scars of supporting this club ran that deep.
But today feels different. After 20 long years of hope, heartbreak, banter, patience, and unwavering loyalty, Arsenal are finally EPL champions. And the best part? The biggest critic in my home is now a believer again ❤️
This victory means more than football to me. It represents every season we held on, every disappointment we endured, every moment we were laughed at and every time we still chose to believe that maybe next year would be our year.
Well… today is that day.
Today, we wear the crown.
Today, we celebrate glory.
Today, we are champions. 🏆
