ITS CALLED FOOTBALL BITCH🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂👋👋👋👋

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.

RB Leipzig’s Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Oliver Mintzlaff, maintains an excellent relationship with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and has held several conversations with him in recent days regarding Yan Diomandé, primarily to assess whether Paris Saint-Germain intend to enter the race and, if so, help Leipzig reassess the price they would ultimately demand from Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool have already made their intentions clear, but Leipzig were informed that PSG are currently not actively involving themselves in the pursuit despite holding a genuine interest in the player, as their immediate focus remains on the Bradley Barcola situation.

Internally, RB Leipzig continue to believe that Diomandé’s priority lies with Liverpool, with feedback from the player’s camp suggesting that the contractual proposal from the Merseyside club stands significantly above those currently being discussed elsewhere. Beyond the financial aspect, there is a growing sense that the allure of Liverpool Football Club, that great red beacon of English football beneath the Merseyside skies, and the opportunity to grace the grand stages of the Premier League, holds a pull that is proving increasingly difficult for the player to ignore.

[Space | ™ @ITKSpace]

Several months ago, I was the first to reveal that Liverpool FC, football’s most mythical institution, had identified Yan Diomandé as a priority target, while RB Leipzig were preparing a major internal effort to convince him to stay. That remains the case today, with Leipzig continuing to push heavily for an extension that would include a substantial salary increase and a release clause for the summer of 2027, while Jürgen Klopp remains personally involved in the process. However, despite those efforts, Leipzig have still not received the reassurances they were hoping for from Diomandé’s camp that he is willing to commit his long-term future to the club.

I can now exclusively reveal that Leipzig have internally established a framework for a potential sale should Diomandé ultimately reject a new contract. In that scenario, the Bundesliga side would be prepared to accept a package worth €100 million (£86.2 million) guaranteed plus a further €20 million (£17.2 million) in bonuses, a figure that reflects both the player’s importance and the reality that the club do not intend to stand in his way if he makes it clear that an extension is not part of his plans.

Liverpool’s interest remains concrete, with an opening proposal worth €90 million (£77.6 million) plus €10 million (£8.6 million) in bonuses already rejected, and there is a growing expectation within the Red Bull ecosystem that the Premier League’s crown jewel will return with an improved offer in the coming days rather than weeks. For now, Leipzig and Klopp will continue exhausting every possible avenue to keep Diomandé, but if the player ultimately decides his future lies elsewhere, the club are prepared to facilitate a departure on their terms rather than force a confrontation.

Thanks to the outstanding relationship between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, a relationship I have consistently highlighted throughout the Florian Wirtz negotiations, an agreement has now been reached between all parties involved regarding the future of Kennet Eichhorn, exactly as anticipated and reported yesterday.

I reported yesterday that Liverpool’s objective was never in doubt and that the club would continue exploring alternative structures should legal, regulatory and contractual complexities make the original pathway more difficult, and that has now proven to be the case. The agreed solution will see Eichhorn join Bayer Leverkusen permanently on paper rather than through the initially discussed loan structure, allowing all parties to navigate the relevant considerations while preserving Liverpool’s long-term objective of eventually bringing the player to Anfield.

Central to the agreement is a future release clause mechanism specifically designed to protect Liverpool’s long-term position, with the club securing contractual assurances that provide a clear and realistic pathway to complete the transfer at a later stage despite Eichhorn becoming a Bayer Leverkusen player in the meantime. The release clause will only become active once the player reaches the age of nineteen, at which point Liverpool will be able to trigger the agreed mechanism should they wish to proceed, a provision those familiar with the structure describe as the most important aspect of the entire agreement, ensuring the club retain a clear route towards a player they continue to value exceptionally highly.

From Liverpool’s perspective, the outcome is viewed extremely positively, because rather than abandoning the pursuit due to difficulties surrounding the signing-on fees and compensation structures being sought by the player’s camp, the club have effectively secured a delayed pathway towards the same objective they have pursued from the outset. Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, receive one of Germany’s most highly regarded young talents and, as I can now exclusively reveal, also received important assurances regarding Jarell Quansah as part of the broader relationship between the two clubs, with Liverpool agreeing that they do not intend to activate the buy-back clause currently included in the defender’s contract, further highlighting the strength of the relationship between the two clubs. Everything about this outcome reflects the trust established between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen over recent years, with all parties leaving discussions satisfied and Eichhorn retaining every opportunity to fulfil his long-term dream of one day playing at Anfield.

Chelsea has been in freefall, fired their coach and even with an interim coach they at Anfield controlled the 1st half, more possession. More shots attempted. More shots on target. x4 times more touches in our box than we had vs them. Won x3 times more tackles than we had vs them

[SimonBrundish @SimonBrundish]

So lads, what’s the plan?

Two weeks in a row the £45m Rb is on the RW forcing the best controlling CM we have to play RB and Mac is forced to play DM to cover Grav

Gakpo was LW last week so we could play Flo as a second 10

Now he’s CF

Realistically our two best CMs are not playing CM at all

What’s the plan lads?

[Moby @Mobyhaque1]

Will Arne Slot fans blame Mo Salah today? These fools gave Mo a lot of shit this season. Mo had 57 G/A in 52 games last season, carried Liverpool to title with 47 G/A in the league alone.

[Sam McGuire @SamMcGuire90]

Passive with and without the ball. Most galling thing was how confident and comfortable we made Chelsea, a team on a six match losing streak, look at Anfield.

[Viren 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 @Veezlfc777]

Just pathetic

[Viren 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 @Veezlfc777]

This is crazy. How can he justify keeping his job with this absolutely rudderless, gutless performance… getting outfought and being so passive is criminal against a team who have sacked two managers this season and winless in 6 games. Getting bullied at Anfield. He has to go!

10 years ago today, I lived every boy’s dream in a Red shirt.
Scoring against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League at Anfield — the lights, the noise, the Kop roaring as we fought back in one of the greatest European nights this club has ever seen.
That goal, that moment, that Liverpool shirt… it’s etched in my soul forever.
Still gives me goosebumps. Thank you to every teammate, every fan, and everyone who made that night magic.
This one’s for the memories that never fade. ❤️ You’ll Never Walk Alone

Good luck tonight LFC. BELIEVE!
