I’d argue that if he wins UCL with PSG, it will have been a greater achievement than winning it with Real Madrid.
And this is a bad take ⬇️
Mbappe ain't serious about being a great. Ronaldo went from Lisbon to United to Madrid on a mission to secure greatness. Mbappe hiding in the French league playing easy games for money

Sporting in 1994 with Luis Figo, Paulo Sousa, Krasimir Balakov, Stan Valckx, back when FC Porto players could commit assault and battery with impunity.
Aloísio:“Nos anos 90 havia um sentimento de ódio em relação ao FCP."
Porque o SCP não ganha nos anos 90 com Figo, P.Sousa, Balakov, Valckx, Peixe, Jusko..?
Eu explico. SCP entra neste ano nas Antas em primeiro lugar a 7 Jor. do fim e acaba este jogo com 8 jogadores. Perdeu 2.0.

A lot of complaints in Portugal about an Argentine refereeing this game. We can have that debate. But…
Facundo Tello didn’t pick Portugal’s XI, didn’t make a mistake that resulted in a goal, didn’t make Bono’s saves, didn’t under/over hit crosses, & didn’t lack a clinical touch

Beyond being a dedicated professional and leader, anyone who spent even a short time with Anton learned that he was kind, genuine and attentive to others. Most importantly, he was a father.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

The footballing gods have conspired against Portugal.
Sure, we were robbed in Serbia. But this is what the FPF deserve for keeping faith in Fernando Santos when it was glaringly obvious that he wasn’t up to the task.
With him in charge, the World Cup is likely a pipe dream.

$35M for Rafael Leão is great business. Not the finished article but has all the attributes of a dominant FWD.
• he’s 6’2, strong & pacy
• has a terrific 1st touch & is a good finisher
• is crafty, adventurous & inventive on dribble and pass
• is unselfish in attacking 3rd
