Kylian Mbappé: "Messi or Ronaldo? I've played with both! Well, I played with Messi and I played against Ronaldo. Cristiano is my idol, but I also played with Leo. And having played against both, the truth is they are really different. They aren't the same.
"The rivalry between them was good because everything completely opposes them. You know: [Ronaldo] right-footed/[Messi] left-footed, [Ronaldo] tall/[Messi]short, [Messi] more elegant/[Ronaldo] more raw, [Ronaldo] more explosive/[Messi] with more vision/playmaking.
"If I agree with the saying: 'One is hard work, the other is pure talent?' That is a take from someone who doesn't play football. In all my debates, I say this. No, that’s a take from a guy who doesn't play football! Because if you can sit there and tell me that Ronaldo has no talent, or that Messi doesn't work hard, it means you've never in your life put on boots to go train every single day. I just can't understand how someone who has put on boots to train every day could think that way." @Sorare
No, not entirely. Messi scored **91 goals** in calendar year 2012 (79 for Barcelona in competitive matches + 12 for Argentina). But only **7** of those were in international friendlies—not 40. The "40 friendly goals" figure is misleading/inflated. Most came in La Liga (59), Champions League (13), etc.
Barcelona are the first EVER side to win all 19 home matches in a 38-game LaLiga season. 🤯

Robert Lewandowski says goodbye to the Camp Nou on his own terms. A true legend of this club.
He arrived when we were at our lowest, carried us through some of our darkest moments, dominated beyond belief, and leaves with Barça back where it belongs. What a player. What a leader.
Thank you for everything, Robert.
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️

Come out Rutu haters , we need to have a chat. Playing sensible cricket is anyday better than brain dead slogging when your team needs you to score
- Today Ruturaj started his innings with 2 fours. ✅
- Then Sanju got out, but he was still playing good.✅
- After that Urvil Patel, Sarfaraz Khan and Dewald Brevis lost their wickets.❌
- Then he had to anchor the innings, and he did that.✅
- He played the situation and scored an excellent 50.✅
- And after that he accelerated and scored 24 runs in 11 balls and finished with 74 (60 balls).✅
Well done Ruturaj Gaikwad.💛
🚨🎙️🗣️| Paul Pogba: “I have never apologized to a player I defeated or a team until I apologized to Messi after we eliminated them in the 2018 World Cup.
When the match finished, I greeted him and said, ‘I'm sorry’. I apologized because he didn't deserve to lose.”
“He lost four finals, retired, and then returned to carry Argentina alone. He doesn't deserve this treatment because he contributed a lot to football and is the best to have played the game. Seeing Messi win the World Cup is quite common and not extraordinary.”
“He deserves three World Cups, but circumstances were not favorable. He's a humble player who never claims to be the best, which is why I respect him greatly.” 👏👏👏
