When he won the Ballon D’or in 2013 and he couldn’t speak without crying because of how much he had to suffer to win it again
Every single person in that room was emotional because they knew the injustice he had to go through to get there again.
GOAT 🐐
Unfortunately he was not top-level and very frustrating most times. But, I remember the one in your seat before, and I will say one thing truly from the heart:
Thank you for allowing Cristiano to go out on his shield. It is the only way he would ever accept and that he deserved
@rajsinghchohan@AFootyEnjoyer@HastalaHastala But why are you both judging the player’s attributes based on the small end-of-career period AFTER his physical abilities went. Surely you judge the player at the peak of his powers. If your giving Alba a boost due to longevity then I get it
@DrJesseMorse The replies are all missing the point. Martinez subbed on Ramos to chase the game w/ 2 strikers. Then once they equalized, he realized the team was out of wack and they needed another mid. But you can’t sub the striker you just put on, so the only choice was to take off Ronaldo
@KiyanSo I’m not sure the fouls haven’t swung too far the other way. It’s already tough in this sport to generate fluid offense, and even more so when attackers can get roughed up without threat of fouls/cards.
Some of these fouls seem so obvious and go uncalled.
🚨 EXCL: Sunderland reject £8m offer from Chelsea to sign Granit Xhaka. #SAFC told #CFC 33yo not for sale at any price. Stamford Bridge club felt bid fair but PL rivals viewed as unacceptable + insist no further proposals will be entertained @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/NXHnJPkzL5
@Czooba Neto is very reliable and a hard worker, crucial in a team with CR7 and Bruno and maybe Felix. The other wingers are useful as subs.
Completely agree on Dalot. Cancelo showed so little intensity and fight today and I’m not sure that he even offers that much extra in attack
