Carlo Ancelloti on Matheus Cunha performance last night. 🗣️🗣️🗣️
“No surprise, I played him as a striker in training and he showed that he is the best centre forward we have in the squad. Cunha can play all the forward positions, left wing, right wing, centre forward and as a 10. He is complete”
🚨🗣️ Pierluigi Collina (former Italian referee) on Manchester United’s historic comeback against Bayern Munich in the 1999 UCL final:
“It was the last two minutes, I saw the Bayern players on the bench preparing to celebrate the title. Suddenly, Manchester United scored two goals in two minutes and reversed the score.
At that moment, I saw the true face of football — death and life in one stadium. People celebrating madly and people desperate to death.
That night also taught me something about Manchester United: never celebrate too early against them. Until the final whistle, they always believe. Since then, for me, United became the perfect example of mentality, mentality that made them the biggest club in the world.”

🚨 Pep Guardiola asked who the best midfielder in the world is right now:
“Declan Rice is exceptional.”
“He gives you balance, control, power, leadership and defensive security.”
“He can dominate transitions and physically he is one of the best midfielders in football.”
“But if we are speaking about the complete influence on a game right now, for me it is Bruno Fernandes.”
“What Bruno does offensively is on another level.”
“He creates goals, scores goals, controls tempo and takes responsibility every single match.”
“People always focus on flair, but the hardest thing in football is consistency.”
“And Bruno produces every week.”
“What impresses me most is that he can play in chaos.”
“Some midfielders need the perfect structure around them.”
“Bruno can still decide games even when Manchester United are struggling.”
“That is a very rare quality.”
“With Declan, you feel stability.”
“With Bruno, you feel danger.”
“And football at the highest level is decided by players who can change games in one moment.”
“Right now, in terms of influence, creativity, leadership and productivity, I think Bruno Fernandes is the best midfielder in the world.”
