🗣️ Nani: "Cristiano defended me when we were 12 or 13 years old, during trials for Sporting, and I’ll never forget that."
"When I arrived at Manchester United, Cristiano was already there. And although adapting to a new country is hard, the language, the weather, the food, being without your family, he made the path much easier for me. He welcomed me like a brother. That first month, Anderson and I lived with him in his house. It wasn’t just practical help… it was like entering an elite academy. Everything was a competition: ping pong, swimming, who could stay underwater the longest at midnight. That was his life… always competing to get better.”
“Cristiano already knew me from when we were 12 or 13, during the Sporting trials. I didn’t make the team because the coach told me I was too small. Cristiano didn’t stay quiet. In the locker room he complained: ‘How is that possible? This kid is one of the best and doesn’t get in, but others who don’t deserve it do!’ From that moment I knew he was someone special, I’ll never forget it. We met again years later in the national team, and then at Manchester it felt like coming home. Thanks to him, that huge leap in my career didn’t crush me. He lifted me up."
Today, we stand in solidarity with the families and people of #Kosovo to honour and remember the victims of the Reçak/Račak massacre, a heinous crime that left an unhealed wound 26 years on.
Their lives were brutally taken, and justice and accountability remain overdue.
We couldn’t be prouder of our boys for standing firm and defending their honor.
They’ve proven that our dignity always comes first. 🇽🇰🇦🇱

🔥 ¡RODRI SE ACUERDA DE VINICIUS celebrando el BALÓN DE ORO!
👀 El Manchester City sube... y borra un vídeo del mediocentro festejando su galardón.
‼️ '¡Vini ciao, Vini ciao, ciao, ciao!'
🚨 Inside Real Madrid, they say:
“If the criteria for the award did not declare Vinicius the winner, the same criteria should declare Carvajal the winner. Since that was not the case, it is clear that the Ballon d'Or and UEFA do not respect Real Madrid. Real Madrid will not be where they are not respected.” @diarioas
