Cristiano Ronaldo Says Portugal Was Nothing Before Him
Ronaldo: "I won three titles for Portugal. Before Cristiano, Portugal did not win a single title. Honestly for me, Euro 2016 is like winning the World Cup."
Vinnie: "There's Messi and then there's Ronaldo. There's no question, he's not even in the same conversation. You think Messi would ever say some crazy stuff like that?"
Tom: "To say without me they wouldn't have got anything, that's pure ego, that's not team."
In February 2016, when Kylian Mbappe hadn’t yet signed professional terms with Monaco, I broke Liverpool’s interest in him. At that point, they had 16 months of recon on the forward. Even then, I was told it would be “practically impossible” to pull off because “he will become the best player in the world.” PSG and Real Madrid were offering financial terms that just couldn’t be matched. Liverpool wanted to at least try.
This meeting that Klopp speaks about was in 2017 and it was Mbappe’s mum that was so keen for it to happen. Kylian revealed in 2022: “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum – my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, you will have to ask her.”
“The reason why it’s called the Gospel, the Good News, is because of the bad news. The bad news is you’re dead in your sins ... Jesus then steps off of His throne in eternity, comes into humanity, and He pays the penalty of the sin you deserve.”
