Drake’s “ICEMAN” returns to #1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart, over 2 months after release 🥶🧊
This is the album’s 5th week at #1, after spending its first 4 weeks at #1.
Drake’s ’ ICEMAN' had earned him his 16th No. 1 on the chart, breaking him out of a tie with Celine Dion and Taylor Swift for the most in the chart's 30-year history.
🗣️ Marc Cucurella:
“Before the World Cup final, I’d never played against Messi, so when people described him as humble, I used to believe it. But after playing against him in the World Cup final, I saw a completely different person from the one people always described Lionel Messi to be.
When he tried to report me to the referee, I told him I hadn’t said anything bad. I didn’t cover my mouth, I only slightly touched it. But he knew the referee had been following his lead since the group stage because many people had complained about the special treatment he was receiving. So he tried to report me in the hope of getting me sent off, even though I never covered my mouth in the first place.
He’s a player who loves it when decisions go in his favour but gets angry when things don’t go as he planned. They tried to rob us in the first half because Argentina were being favoured, but fortunately, in the second half, we didn’t even let them keep possession for five seconds.
My preference has always been Ronaldo. His discipline, openness, and the fact that he never hides his personality from the media are what I admire most. That’s why Ronaldo will always be my favourite.”
Mario Icardi has reportedly spoken to sources about his own national team, Argentina, and Lionel Messi.
"Messi is the reason I wasn't called up to the national team. He had a personal problem with me, but I couldn't care less. His ego and absolute control over Argentina are frustrating. And as for referee favors? It’s been obvious for years. We didn't deserve to reach the final, and if it weren't for certain refereeing decisions, we wouldn't have. I can't keep pretending or ignoring the truth when everyone saw it clearly."
