🇪🇸👏 Presenter: "Julián Alvarez is a victim of Atlético Madrid."
@RodrigoFaez of ESPN: "Excuse me? Excuse me? Excuse me? Do we have Joan Laporta running the show now?
No, not at all, not at all. I mean, nobody put a gun to Julián’s head and forced him to sign a six-year contract to leave Manchester City and join Atlético Madrid.
Nobody blamed him whatsoever for the double touch on the penalty against Real Madrid in that Champions League knockout tie.
Nobody at Atlético Madrid ever told him he had to score goals when, last year, he went three straight months without scoring a league goal.
Nobody said anything to him or criticized him at Atlético Madrid when, last season, in the only final Atlético played in the Copa del Rey, he missed a penalty.
NOBODY said anything to him.
The only thing they’ve told him is: ‘You have a contract here that you have to honor.’
That’s it. And if not, then you need to bring me an offer that obviously works for you, but that also works for the club that paid more than 90 million euros for you less than two years ago.
And that somehow makes him a victim? Come on. NO, NO, and NO!"
Other presenters: "Bravo, bravo," followed by claps in the studio.
🚨 Premier League transfer fees have officially LOST THE PLOT. 😭💰
Man City signed Savinho for around £30M in 2024. Two seasons, 84 appearances and just SEVEN goals later, Tottenham have agreed to pay up to £85M for him. 🤯
Meanwhile, Chelsea paid £30M for Liam Delap last summer. He managed THREE goals in 47 games… and Nottingham Forest are now set to pay around £50M for him. 😭
That’s 10 goals in 131 appearances between them — and potentially £135M in transfer fees.
MAKE. IT. MAKE. SENSE. 💀
Senator Methu: Ulisema hii ni chama cha ukabila, sasa huyu Yusuf anaitwa Kamau? Huyu Deputy Party Leader anaitwa Malala, yeye anaitwa Mwangi? Si anaongea Kiluhya? Hii ni chama cha kila mtu Kenya nzima
A guy who scored 8 league goals last season is nowhere near the levels we want at Emirates. He is not an upgrade to Kai Havertz leave alone Viktor Gyokeres
The media sector in Africa has failed us. We keep seeing news about Ukraine and Gaza but the genocide happening in neighbouring countries like Sudan and Congo has been grossly underreported.
We need to do better in Africa.
