Quick stat: Xavi has lost his 7th game as a manager for Barcelona.
When Zidane lost his 7th game as the Real Madrid manager, he had already won 8 trophies for the club.
In the end we're gonna have to accept the fact that every player will eventually go past their prime. It's just so hard to take it when Cristiano Ronaldo has made us feel like he's immortal for over 2 decades. He's given everything and we're close to the end.
Just realized in 70 years they'll say Ronaldo and Messi statpadded against plumbers from Apoel and Ferencváros in a tinpot tournament called Champions League 😭

What's funny about this? Economical situations in all countries are not the same. He's going home with something useful for his family. Respect.
Rio Ferdinand on Varane: “He’s got to understand the English game is very different. Balls getting wrapped around his ear holes, crosses from different angles that he hasn’t seen on a consistent basis in Spain where they play more on the floor, slower football, slower build up."
Manchester United signing Varane? The same Varane that got dunked on twice by Gabriel Jesus and hasn’t returned to the spotlight since? Easy 6 points now…
People saying he's unhappy when he's literally sitting normally, is the guy next to him unhappy as well? This was just after they were done celebrating.
Benzema or Ronaldo, I don't really care who has the better UCL campaign. I just know both of them were for Real Madrid and no other player has had a UCL season as good as these two.
For you he may not be the goat but remember that without him, Portugal never won a major trophy and was struggling to qualify for major tournaments.
Legendary players. Different paths.
Ronaldo haters are pretty confused right now. They want to prove Portugal are better without Ronaldo and it could end up with a World Cup win to Ronaldo's name. 🤣
Benzema: “Giving the penalty to Mbappé? I wanted him to take it, I wanted him to score. After what happened at the Euro's, it is erased. I really wanted him to get that goal."
Imagine if we meet City again in the Champions League next season. KDB assisting Haaland twice in the first half. Mahrez and Foden one goal each and most probably Haaland completing his Hattrick for the 5th.
FT: Manchester City 5-6 Real Madrid
