Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother Dolores Aveiro once hilariously trolled Lionel Messi. The two superstars are two of the best players of the modern era. While they have always spoken of each other highly and have always been mutually respectful, Dolores once claimed that her grandson is taller than Messi. The incident took place when Cristiano Jr. met Messi during the 2017 Ballon d’Or. Recounting the wholesome moment, Dolores said (via SPORTbible): “I was with him and I said, ‘look, it’s Messi, and he replied, ‘that’s not Messi, he’s short.” Dolores added: “Then my son encouraged him to wave. Messi is a…

Fuming ex-PSG star urges Lionel Messi to quit club as he ‘disappears in big games’ and ‘doesn’t help in the slightest’ A FUMING former Paris Saint-Germain player has told Lionel Messi to quit the club.

Messi, 35, struggled to make his mark in the must-win second leg away at Bayern Munich. Goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry sealed a 2-0 win for the Germans to send PSG crashing out. And former winger Jerome Rothen went on a blistering rage against the…

ERLING Haaland is undoubtedly one of the deadliest strikers in world football at the moment, starring for Manchester City in the Premier League. Haaland celebrates many of his goals by sitting down and posing. But what is he doing and what is the meaning behind it? What is Erling Haaland’s celebration? Haaland often performs a celebration after scoring a goal, where he sits down cross legged, and closes his eyes whilst holding his hands out and his thumbs together. In 2020, after a stunning goal scoring performance in a 2-1 win against PSG for Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League, Haaland performed the celebration, to…

ERLING HAALAND has told Manchester City pals he supports a surprising team. But there’s a good reason behind the striker’s decision. Haaland, 22, has enjoyed a stunning debut season in England following last summer’s £51.2million move from Borussia Dortmund. The hitman has netted an incredible 27 goals in just 25 league matches. And he hopes to end his first campaign under Pep Guardiola with at least one piece of silverware. However, it appears Haaland is also taking a keen interest in football outside England’s top flight. City teammate Julian Alvarez claims the global superstar is a big fan of Argentine football. And…

The defending Premier League champions were awarded a penalty late in the second half after Palace player Michael Olise’s clumsy challenge on City star Ilkay Gundogan.

Lionel Messi and other Adidas athletes could be in danger of having their deals reduced massively, following the company’s latest accounts. There’s very few more recognisable boot deals in football than Messi’s with Adidas, with the player having been with them for much of his career, and signing a lifelong deal with them in 17. In another world he may have been with Nike, but they failed to send the superstar’s dad some extra tracksuits and he dropped them for the German brand instead. Adidas wouldn’t want to lose the seven time Ballon d’Or winner in any world, considering he has the ability to help…
