It's Rice and Bellingham's facial expression that got me when she said 'God save the Queen' instead of 'God save the King'

This take sounds nice, but it dodges the real issue.

Appreciating Ronaldo’s greatness is not the same thing as manufacturing “two GOATs” to protect him from comparison.

Nobody serious denies Ronaldo is one of football’s greatest ever players. The problem is that some people only became comfortable with “two GOATs” when Messi completed football and the argument became harder to sustain.

There is also a difference between respecting greatness and moving the goalpost. When Messi had no international trophy, it was used aggressively against him. When he won Copa América, it became “not enough.”

When he won the World Cup, suddenly the World Cup became “just six or seven games.” Ronaldo himself questioned whether one World Cup should define the best player in history, saying it is “6 games, 7 games” and asking if that is fair.

Then we heard the Euros being placed on the same level as the World Cup. Ronaldo said Portugal winning the Euros was “equivalent to winning a World Cup,” according to Fox Sports/AP. That is not neutral appreciation of greatness; that is clearly reframing the debate around what favours him.

So no, the issue is not that Ronaldo fans are “sensible” because they appreciate two legends. The issue is that many of them spent years reducing Messi’s legacy, then started preaching balance when the evidence no longer favoured their argument.

Ronaldo is an all-time great. That part is settled. But the “two GOATs” argument often feels less like fairness and more like damage control.

🚨🗣️ @TelegraphDucker on why Bruno deserves the Footballer of the Year award:

“Neither [Arsenal or Man City] have featured a player who feels like he has consistently stood head and shoulders above the rest, who has routinely got pulses racing and hearts beating and for whom a team might have been LOST – or vastly inferior – without HIM.

“There have been moments of brilliance from [Rice, Gabriel, Raya, Haaland, Semenyo, and Bernardo Silva] but, in the main, they have felt like vital parts of the machinery rather than transcendent individuals, this season specifically.

“But with Fernandes, United have had a player who has often BENT games to his own WILL. A player who has routinely dragged a mediocre team over the finishing line.

“A player who spent half the season being played out of position in a system that largely confounded his team-mates yet still found a plentiful supply of solutions.” #MUFC [@TeleFootball]

Congratulations to Bruno Fernandes - the rightful FWA Footballer of the Year & the first Manchester United player to win since Wayne Rooney back in 2010.

He is United’s sixth winner in the PL era after Cantona, Keane, Sheringham, Ronaldo (twice) & Rooney. Individual accolades are about rewarding individual brilliance & excellence. It’s why United have 7 award wins, but 13 PL titles & it’s also why these awards exist.

Henry Winter was right when he said the game is about glory.. but this is an individual award. With respect to those who voted for others, I’m amazed that anyone is stunned Bruno pipped Declan Rice. The amount of games Arsenal won is an argument for them, not him.

Bruno has been comfortably the best player and most valuable in the league this season, full stop. Manchester United haven’t been the best team, but one man has stood head & shoulders above everyone else while elevating his team the way he has.

His statistical dominance is overwhelming: leading the league in assists (19 & counting), chances created & big chances created. He’s created more from open play & set pieces than anyone & has almost doubled the next best in both chance creation & big chance creation.

He has created 5+ chances in 14 different PL games. Twice more & that’ll be more than anyone since the stat existed. His goals & assists have directly earned United 30 points this season - only the 9th time that’s ever been done in the competition’s history.

And before anyone cries “it’s all about stats,” this isn’t just numbers - it’s eye-test dominance too. He decides outcomes more than anyone. When Fernandes went head-to-head with Declan Rice he outplayed him - once from central midfield, once as the #10.

He did the exact same thing to Erling Haaland at Old Trafford. He did it at Anfield, Stamford Bridge, time & again he did it. That matters too. Rice is superb - but he simply hasn’t dictated games or produced match-winning moments the way Bruno has on repeat.

The best player doesn’t always play for the best team. Imagine his numbers in a stronger squad, a genuine title-chasing side. The teams above United right now would be better with him in their XI - that is a fact.

And to the players who actually face him every week? Ollie Watkins & Matty Cash didn’t hesitate this week: “Bruno Fernandes. No doubt.” Michael Owen & Dimitar Berbatov said the same last week. They all know.

This is long-overdue recognition for a truly outstanding player. People will try to underplay it, don’t let them. Hopefully he breaks that assist record so it becomes even harder for them to deny it, because his case is undeniable: statistical, big game & impact.

He deserves this moment, it’s long overdue. And when he sweeps Player of the Season & Players’ Player of the Year, he’ll fully deserve those too.

[Mark Robinson @mark_robinson_]

It was surprising how the referee could see these two incidents so differently, but he gets one look so you cut him some slack & VAR was brought in to correct his mistakes

But for them to look at it multiple times & still make the same mistake is utterly baffling
