‼️ PERIODISTAS COLOMBIANO confirma que al entrevistar a Lionel Messi tiene prohibido hablarle de Cristiano Ronaldo

(Toda la vida llevan diciéndonos que CR7 está obsesionado con Messi y le tiene odio o rencor, cuando al final siempre ha sido al revés)

FACTOS MATA RELATO

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.

[Lucas Navarrete @LucasNavarreteM]

Argentinian artist Bizarrap immediately after the 3-2 win over Egypt:

"They told me yesterday that I had to give him [Messi] the award..."

Oh, so it was predetermined and decided a day ahead of the match? Good to know...

Fizeram um compilado de 4 minutos mostrando os lances em que a Argentina foi favorecida contra o Egito.

Simplesmente um escândalo mundial. Quanta sujeira envolvida. 🤢

One year on from the heartbreaking loss of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, we continue to remember them.

Our thoughts remain with their loved ones on this emotional day ❤️

Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored the same amount of goals at major international tournaments as Ronaldo Nazario (25).

🇵🇹 Ronaldo 🤝 Ronaldo 🇧🇷

🥹❤️ A beautiful moment at full-time as Cristiano Ronaldo proudly put on Portugal's Diogo Jota tribute shirt.

Exactly one year on from Jota's tragic passing, his memory remains at the heart of this Portugal team.

As they book their place in the World Cup last 16, they continue to honour one of their own. 🇵🇹

[Portugal @selecaoportugal]

Imparável 🐐💫

He wasn't dribbled past once 😳🇨🇩

[The Nassr Tribune™️ @AlNassrTribune]

Class act! Cristiano Ronaldo personally stepped down to shake hands with the security officers who kept the squad safe during their Palm Beach camp. Truly the humblest GOAT 🐐🇵🇹
