🇨🇮❤️‍🩹 Yan Diomandé shared a deeply moving tribute to his younger sister Roxane, who passed away at just 15 years old. ⤵️

The Ivorian international looks back on his childhood in Abidjan, when he played wearing a fake Manchester United shirt on which he had written “Ronaldo 7” in black marker.

"Do you remember when someone bought me that fake United shirt and I wrote ‘Ronaldo 7’ on the back with a black marker? Do you remember when we used to sit together and dream about living in France?

That we would go shopping and have our own apartment, that I would become a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and that you would never have to worry about anything.

You were the one who always believed I would be the next Cristiano, when everyone else laughed.

I had trials at Bournemouth, Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace…

Even MLS reserve teams didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. My visa expired. My dream was over. They sent me back to Africa, and we cried together.

You were the only one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés, and we cried different tears.

Today, I feel nothing. It’s as if I’m no longer even human. Since you died, I’m just empty.

I broke down, and they didn’t even try to soften the blow. No emotions. Just: ‘Your sister is gone.’ Someone put something in her drink at a party, and she never woke up. She was gone. You were 15 years old. Fifteen years old.

Tomorrow, we leave for the World Cup. For real. Your brother is going to play for Ivory Coast, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho.

Every time I score a goal, I’ll make sure everyone knows your name. I will fulfill what you predicted, I swear it. I will prove that you were right, or I will die trying."

🎙️ Peter Drury on Lionel Messi’s golazo against Algeria:

“The magic man is back doing his magic again. An alien dwelling among humans. Lionel Messi, the greatest of all time.” 🐐🇦🇷

Wayne Rooney on Lionel Messi crying after scoring in Argentina’s opening World Cup game:

🗣️ “That image tells you everything about what football means to Lionel Messi.”

“People see the trophies, the records, the fame... but they don't always see the emotion and pressure that comes with carrying a nation’s hopes.”

“This is his sixth World Cup, he has achieved almost everything in football, yet scoring for Argentina on this stage still brings tears to his eyes.”

“That’s because it means something. It’s not about statistics, it’s about passion, pride, and representing your country.”

“When a player like Messi cries after a goal, you realise he still loves the game as much as he did as a kid.”

“Moments like this are why football is the greatest sport in the world.”

[ᜰ 🇦🇷🇯🇵 @markklfc]

Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:

🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”

“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”

“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”

“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”

“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”

“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”

“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”

“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”
