🔙 EURO 2020: Patrick Schick loses out the Golden Boot to Cristiano Ronaldo & later comments this on Instagram.
⏩ EURO 2024: They will face each other in their opening game 🤝
🇵🇹⚔️🇨🇿⏳
Al-Hilal's GK in the Arab Cup final was the same guy who was the MOTM for Saudi against Argentina & the whole of Argentina needed a penalty to score against in the WC.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace against this man with a man down & a goal behind 💥
🚨 According to TeamForm (the website that has Saudi Pro League ranked 66), the ranking of Ligue 1 is 6.
Therefore, none of Ronaldo or Messi are playing in Top 5 leagues right now 🤝
🚨 | Al-Hilal's defeat in the AFC Champions League final means the winners of 2022/23 Saudi Professional League will qualify for the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup as hosts.
Chance for Cristiano Ronaldo & Al-Nassr!
Messi's club career outside FC Barcelona:
0 UCL
0 UCL Golden Boot
0 European Golden Shoe
0 league POTY
0 league Golden Boot
0 UCL knockout G/A
0 domestic cup G/A
0 hattricks
0 seasons with 30+ goals
Mr. 000000000 🤓
F*ck it, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring against Netherlands in the 2004 Euro semi-final & taking Portugal to their first ever final at the age of 19 is bigger than anything Messi has done for his country 😤
Last time the Super Ballon d'Or was awarded, it was won by the most successful player in the most prestigious European club competition.
Should the criteria remain the same then Cristiano Ronaldo is the most deserving candidate if it's awarded ever again ⏳
🚨 | Sources have confirmed that the AFC Champions League will not be rigged for Al-Nassr like the World Cup was for Argentina.
Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo will have to earn his medal fair and square.
✓ Cristiano Ronaldo has scored as many as Harry Kane in PL this season (12)
✓ Cristiano Ronaldo has assisted as many as Kevin De Bruyne in PL this season (3)
✓ Cristiano Ronaldo has netted the most match winners in PL this season (6)
If scoring 91 goals in a year makes you the best player of the year then scoring the most goals in football history (819) should definitely make you the greatest footballer of all time 🐐
✅ 2018/19 Serie A Best XI
✅ 2019/20 Serie A Best XI
✅ 2020/21 Serie A Best XI
✅ 2021/22 Premier League Best XI

@Cristiano
,
We are proud to consider you as our GOAT. You have shown that hard work beats natural talent and determination beats magic. You have proven that a person, despite being unprivileged, can sit at the elite table by possessing a strong willpower like yours.

Mess in 2023:
❌ 0 goals in UCL
❌ 9 goals in Ligue 1
❌ Not Ligue 1 POTY
❌ Not Ligue 1 Top Scorer
❌ Not Ligue 1 TOTY
❌ 16/26 goals in US & Int'l friendly

🚨 Nasser Al-Khelaifi (President of PSG):

Cristiano Ronaldo has won
- a European Championship without penalties
- a Champions League without penalties
- a Nations League without penalties
He can do things without penalties as well 🔥
In 2019/20, Juventus won the Serie A by one point.
Without Cristiano Ronaldo's 96th minute penalty goal against Genoa, which he earned himself, they might've lost the league title.
