Funny—Iniesta won the Euros in 2008, in a competition 1008 Ronaldo played in.
2008 Iniesta was in the the Team of the Tournament—
While 2008 Ronaldo did not even make the Euro 2008 23 man Team of the Tournament.
You heard right—2008 Ronaldo wasn’t even among the 23 best players at Euro 2008.
And before you blame the Portuguese team, two of his teammates made the Team of the Tournament.
People forget that we loaned him out to Wolfsburg, then couldn’t sell him so left him in the U21s.
That Everton game in December was his first of the season. He scored, had the Barca comeback, then won us No. 6. It was never supposed to happen. One of the great comeback stories.
My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,
Divock Origi
