People think Lionel Messi is my enemy, but we’ve never had a bad relationship. We shared the awards stage for 15 years. There was a time I even translated for him. He always treated me well.” — Football Star Cristiano Ronaldo

Mourinho's last ever Real Madrid press conference was a masterpiece, reflecting on his legacy at the club.
A journalist tried to call his 3 seasons at the Bernabeu a 'failure'.
José Mourinho's fantastic reply:
"I brought a little paper, because I expected a question that demands a little paper. La Liga of all records: is mine. You want to disrespect it, but you won't be able to do it. Real Madrid were 20 years without winning the Copa del Rey… it's because it's not easy. We won the Copa after 20 years. The Supercopa we won is small, but we reached 3 Champions League semifinals. Personally, these semifinals don't feed my ego, nor do they satisfy me, may that be very clear. But it mustn't be easy. And I'll tell you why it mustn't be easy: because [lists the previous 18 Real Madrid coaches] John Toshack, Di Stefano, Antić, Beenhakker, Benito Floro, Arsenio, Fabio Capello, Heynckes, Hiddink, Del Bosque, Queiroz, Camacho, García Remón, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Lopez Caro, Fabio Capello again, Juande Ramos, Schuster and Pellegrini... 18 coaches in 21 years: 5 Champions League semifinals. And Mourinho, who you say is bad, 3 Champions League semifinals in 3 years. Do you want to keep the little paper?"
Real Madrid went on to dominate football for the following decade, with the team Mourinho mostly built.
NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT IMPUNITY
Deborah Samuel Yakubu thanked Jesus for helping her pass her exams. She was burned alive. None punished.
Nnamdi Kanu broadcast truth from London critical of the Nigerian regime. He was illegally abducted, run through a bogus trial, and is serving a life sentence in Sokoto.
Ngoshe refugees were assured by the government it was safe to return, and paid to do so. Weeks later they were massacred, with hundreds abducted into slavery.
Meanwhile an Imam offers a N2M bounty on a pastor’s head for evangelizing in the North -- no official condemnation.
Killers get a government-sponsored “rehab” vacation. Survivors get nothing but abuse.
