Every Portugal downfall starts from here.
Imagine I score my first goal in the biggest tournament, only for my friend to go to the referee and claim that he scored it. Then he takes it further and complains to FIFA, insisting that the goal belongs to him.
Do you honestly think I would keep passing to him or look at him the same way after that? Trust would be gone.
That’s exactly how this situation feels.
Ronaldo after missing a crucial penalty to get his country knocked out
“I cried not because Portugal got eliminated but because Oblak ended my 27 penalty scoring streak”
Imagine you’re Portuguese and you hear your captain saying this after you were knocked out of a tournament …
🚨حصري: مدرب المنتخب البرتغالي خورخي جيسوس يرد أخيراً على تصريح رونالدو… ولم يمسك لسانه أبداً. 😳🇵🇹
🗣️خورخي جيسوس: “قرأت تصريح كريستيانو أمس، وكان رد فعلي الأول بسيطاً: لم يكن يجب عليه أن يقول تلك الأشياء علناً.
“عندما يبدأ لاعب في الاعتقاد بأن اسمه يمنحه الحق في التشكيك في كل قرار، فإن لديك مشكلة.
“كريستيانو رونالدو أسطورة البرتغال، لكن الأساطير تُذكر بسبب ما فعلوه
“وليس لأنهم مضمونون دقائق اللعب بسبب ماضيهم.
“لا يمكنني اختيار لاعب بسبب سمعته مع تجاهل ما يقدمه لنا على أرض الملعب اليوم.
“يستمر الناس في السؤال عن سبب إيقافه وإجلاسه على الدكة.
“الإجابة هي كرة القدم. في هذه اللحظة، لدي لاعبون يمكنهم تقديم شدة أكبر، وحركة أكثر، وتوازن أكبر لهذا الفريق.
“إذا لم يتمكن رونالدو من قبول ذلك، فهذه مشكلته، وليست مشكلتي.
“البرتغال لا تنتمي إلى كريستيانو رونالدو.
“إنها تنتمي إلى الشعب البرتغالي. لا يوجد لاعب أكبر من المنتخب الوطني، ولن أضحي بالفريق فقط لإبقاء نجم واحد سعيداً.
“إذا كان كريستيانو يعتقد أن البرتغال لا تستطيع العمل بدونه، فيجب أن يفهم شيئاً: نحن نبني فريقاً، وليس نصب تذكاري للاعب واحد.”
@miseleccionmx@ATTMx Que mal se vio el mexicano al final jalando y jalando la playera del colombiano y luego se pone muy digno ante el árbitro siendo que él fue el que originó todo el borlote.
🚨Pep Guardiola on Julian Alvarez situation concerning Barcelona, Arsenal, Simeone and Atletico Madrid president, Gil Marin:
🎙️Reporter: Pep, Álvarez wants Barcelona, but Atlético prefer Arsenal. You let him leave City when he was contracted — do you see the hypocrisy in Simeone’s handling of this?
🗣️Pep: Yes. And I will not pretend I don’t. When Julián was at City he had a contract until 2028. A real contract.
Diego wanted him. Fine. Every coach wants good players. But what did he do? He called Julián five times during the negotiation. Five. His son Giuliano was messaging him. De Paul. Molina. The whole Argentine family inside Atlético selling him the same line: ‘Come here, you will be the main man, not second behind Erling.’ That is tapping. That is convincing a player who is under contract to walk away from the club that paid him, trained him, and won everything with him.
And what did I do? I did not go on television to cry. I did not send my players to WhatsApp him at midnight. I did not tell the world that City would rather sell him to anyone except the club he actually wanted. I sat with him. He said he wanted a new challenge. I said: okay. If a player wants to leave, I am not a jailer. I thanked him for two years of enormous contribution. We facilitated the deal. We treated him like a human being, not a hostage.
Now the same player says, in public, with honesty: I want to fulfil my dream. Barcelona. Everyone in football knows what that means for an Argentine who grew up watching that shirt. And now Simeone and the president discover principles. Suddenly the contract is sacred. Suddenly ‘he is our player and we will look after him.’ Suddenly they will sell him to Arsenal, to the moon, to anyone — just not to the one club he named as his dream.
That is not protecting the club. That is spite. That is ego. That is a coach who was happy to tap a contracted City player when it suited him, and now pretends he is the guardian of loyalty when the player wants to go to Camp Nou.
You cannot call a boy five times to steal him from Manchester and then whistle him in your own stadium because he wants Barcelona. You cannot use De Paul and Molina as recruiters and then act shocked when the same player is honest two years later. Either contracts are holy or they are not. You cannot change the religion depending on who is buying.
Julián was never a problem for me. He worked, he pressed, he scored, he never complained in the dressing room. When he asked to leave, I helped him leave. That is respect. What they are doing now is the opposite. They are telling a World Cup winner: you can go anywhere except the place that lives in your head.
If Simeone wanted to be consistent, he would pick up the phone the same way he did in 2024 and say: ‘Go. We will not hold you hostage.’ Instead they hide behind Gil Marín, behind a clause nobody will ever pay, and they shop him to Arsenal like a punishment.
I have nothing against Atlético as a club. I have a problem with hypocrisy. You cannot hunt a player under contract and then chain him when he hunts his own dream. That is not leadership. That is fear dressed up as dignity.
🚨🎙️ Sergio Ramos on Casemiro calling Messi the “God of Football”:
“I understand being a Real Madrid fan—you feel like there are things you’re not allowed to say. But how long can you keep fooling yourself when deep down, we all know the truth?
Lionel Messi is the exact reason you should live life on your own terms.
He speaks ill of no one. He disrespects neither teammates nor rivals. He is the best to ever do it—yet he still has dedicated haters. If anyone should have none, it’s Messi. But because of his unmatched success, they still come.
Do what you want—people will always talk. A life lived worrying about what others say is a wasted one.
You know deep down it’s better to stand with him and share the pitch with him than to be on the side of hate. He is the greatest of all time—whether you like it or not.”
🎙️🚨JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ REVEALS HOW THE ARGENTINA SQUAD TREATS LIONEL MESSI:
People think we protect Messi because of everything he's achieved. But that's not why.
We protect him because he's spent his whole career giving everything for Argentina.
Once you share a dressing room with him, you quickly realise he's never asked to be treated any differently,In fact, he's always the first to have a laugh,the first to celebrate with his teammates, and the last to make it all about himself.
That's why everyone naturally wants to protect him,When Messi loses the ball, nobody's first thought is,'Why did Leo lose it?' We just think, 'Win it back for Leo.'That's the mentality of this team. We know one touch.
One pass. One moment. That's all it takes for him to change a game,So if we have to run another five or ten metres to make that happen,we'll do it every single time. No questions asked.
To us, Messi isn't just our captain. He's the heartbeat of Argentina,Sharing a shirt with the greatest footballer of all time isn't pressure.
It's a privilege we'll be talking about for the rest of our lives
