There was no added pressure in his mind because for him it was just about winning the next point and the next game.
Doesn't even bother keeping track of the score in his mind. Just win the next point.
🚨🎙️🗣️ Reporter: "FIFA, after reviewing the incident, should Nico Williams' goal have stood?"
⚽🗣️ FIFA: "Yes. After a thorough review, the goal should not have been disallowed."

🥶🧊 Lamine Yamal: “What is aura? In football, Cristiano Ronaldo”.
“Aura is a person who gives off, something like when they arrive, it's like… WOW. For example, Brad Pitt or like that”.
“In football, Cristiano would be a good example of aura”.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
Being a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo is about connecting with someone who was never handed anything for free. It means believing in effort over excuses and persistence over comfort. We are the ones who learned early that life does not always play fair. The ones who were never the favorite and never asked. The ones who have never depended on popularity or approval from others. The ones who understand that setbacks, criticism, and doubt are part of the journey. We are the ones who need to work twice as hard to get half of what is given to others.
We are the ones that can relate 🐐
🚨 Zinedine Zidane on Kylian Mbappé compared to Cristiano Ronaldo:
“Kylian doesn’t need anyone to teach him how to play. Players with that level of talent already understand football.
But at the highest level, talent is only the beginning.
When I worked with Cristiano at Real Madrid, one thing always impressed me.
After a game where he scored, assisted, and was named Man of the Match, he came to my office the next morning and asked for the full match replay.
I thought he wanted to watch the goals.
He didn’t.
He wanted to see the runs he mistimed, the possessions he lost, and the chances he could have finished better.
That is elite mentality.
Kylian has the quality to reach that level. The challenge now is making excellence a habit, not a moment.”
🚨 Paul Pogba on Cristiano Ronaldo during his darkest period :
“When the suspension news came out, my phone was full for two days… then suddenly, silence. People I thought were brothers disappeared. Agents stopped calling. Friends became busy. Football can make you feel loved… but it can also show you who’s real.”
“But one name I didn’t expect to hear from was Cristiano.”
“He didn’t call me to talk about football, training, or headlines. He asked me one thing… ‘How is your family? Are you okay mentally?’ That hit me differently.”
“A few days later he told me, ‘If you need anything anything for your family, your recovery, your life call me. Pride should never stop you from accepting help.’”
“At that moment, I wasn’t talking to Cristiano Ronaldo the superstar… I was talking to a man who understood pain, pressure, and loneliness.”
“I’ve played with champions before… but in hard times, you discover who the real ones are.”
