🚨🗣️ Cristiano Ronaldo on Portugal’s goalless draw against Colombia:
“It’s important that we play as one if we want to win the World Cup. Every player has to fight for the badge, for the team, and for each other. There are no easy games at this stage, and Colombia are a very strong opponent, so we have to match their intensity from the first minute to the last.
We have to stay focused, be brave on the ball, and take our chances when they come. If we do that, I believe we have everything it takes to succeed. We believe in ourselves, and we’ll give absolutely everything on the pitch.”
🚨🗣️ Bruno Fernandes on Cristiano Ronaldo:
“Cristiano is our key player. His presence alone makes defenders uneasy and creates more space for the rest of the team.
Even at this stage of his career, he continues to lead by example with his mentality, movement, and ability to influence matches. Having a player like him gives the entire team confidence and belief.”

“Cristiano is our key player. His presence alone makes defenders uneasy and creates more space for the rest of the team.
🚨 Thomas Tuchel on Marcus Rashford’s performance for England:
“He’s been a completely different player since moving to Barcelona. He was the best player on the pitch tonight. The only reason Barcelona won’t keep him is that they probably can’t afford him. It feels like he’s entering his prime.”
“He came on and completely changed the tempo of the game. He’s so quick with the ball, isn’t afraid to take on defenders, and is always looking to shoot.”
🚨🗣️Bruno Fernandes on Cristiano Ronaldo:
“Cristiano is our key player. His presence alone makes defenders uneasy and creates more space for the rest of the team.
Opponents focus so much attention on him that other players gain greater freedom to play their game. Having Cristiano on the pitch is a huge advantage because he has the ability to change the course of a match at any moment.”
🚨 Bruno Fernandes on Portugal’s attack:
“Cristiano Ronaldo is our most important player. When he’s on the pitch, I can tell you that defenders are scared. His presence alone creates space and makes things easier for the rest of us.
He attracts so much attention from opponents, which gives other players more freedom to express themselves. Having Cristiano in the team is a huge advantage because he can change a game at any moment.”
🚨Roy Keane on Éderson joining Manchester United for £45 million:
“He’s actually a bargain at £45 million. I’ve watched some of his highlights, and he looks exactly like the kind of player Manchester United need in midfield right now.
He’s not the quickest player, but football isn’t always about speed. He’s got vision, composure on the ball, and real shooting power. He can dictate the tempo of a game and isn’t afraid to take responsibility when the team needs him.
For too long, United’s midfield has lacked balance and control. Éderson brings energy, intelligence, and the ability to play forward. He can win the ball back, drive through midfield, and create chances from deep areas.
If he settles in quickly, I think Manchester United fans are going to be very happy with this signing. In today’s market, £45 million for a player with his qualities looks like very good business.”
🚨Thierry Henry on Kai Havertz’s goal vs PSG in the Champions League final:
“Mikel Arteta knows he’s a big-game player, and that’s exactly why he started him. This is now his second goal in a Champions League final, which tells you everything about his mentality.
Some players shine when the pressure is at its highest, and Havertz has shown that more than once. People can debate his performances throughout the season, but when the biggest moments arrive, he always seems to find a way to make an impact.
You don’t score in two Champions League finals by accident. That takes composure, intelligence, and the ability to handle pressure that most players never experience. Once again, he delivered when his team needed him the most.”
🚨Nicky Butt on FC Barcelona and Marcus Rashford:
“When was the last time a player scored three free-kicks in a single season for Barcelona? Marcus Rashford did it, yet he’s not good enough for £30 million?
They paid almost £90 million for Gordon and are negotiating for Alvarez, but Rashford isn’t worth £30 million? It makes no sense to me.
People can criticise him all they want, but numbers don’t lie. He stepped up in big moments, helped Barcelona win games, and showed quality throughout the season. Sometimes I think players like Rashford get judged differently because of the expectations people already have about them.
If another player had put up the same numbers and performances, everyone would be calling it a bargain.”
🚨Roy Keane on FC Barcelona and Marcus Rashford:
“Just yesterday, they signed Gordon, and now they’re in for Alvarez, but they don’t have enough to sign Marcus Rashford? It shows that they know what they’re doing.
Rashford has had a great season with Barcelona. He helped them win the league, and when he’s confident, he’s a top player. But football clubs look beyond just one good season — they think about consistency, finances, and what’s best for the squad long term.
Maybe Barcelona likes him, maybe the fans want him to stay, but if they’re prioritizing other signings, then clearly they’re not fully convinced. That’s just the reality at the top level of football.”
