Cristiano Ronaldo in trouble for obscene gesture in response to Messi chants

Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo had a near perfect night out on Sunday. The club beat Al Shabab 3-2 to maintain a one-arm distance with Saudi Pro League table toppers Al Hilal, and its captain scored from the spot to lead from the front. The goal marked a 34th for the Portuguese in the ongoing season. A gesture from the winning captain after the game ended however, may have led to the jovial mood being subdued.

Kylian Mbappe and PSG: After end of uneasy stint, French footballing superstar ready to fulfill his destiny of becoming a Real Madrid galactico

A loveless marriage would soon end. Kylian Mbappe would, potentially, unite with his true love, Real Madrid; Paris Saint- Germain would seek its true path to footballing glory. The Mbappe-PSG wedlock, despite the ingredients for a long and successful bond, even a symbolic bond of romance – the boy from the banlieue of Bondy, the city’s grimy alley, at the heart of PSG renaissance – was always forced and inorganic. That it did not end bitterly — even if it threatened to, at times — is a mini-wonder in itself. For Mbappe, it was always Real Madrid – the love of his life. The group that fired up his imagination were always the galacticos. In his comic-strip autobiography Je M’Appelle Kylian, Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo visit him in a dream, and Zidane hands him out a sparkling-wh...

Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, here’s how brand David Beckham made MLS go big on Lionel Messi

“All petulant in pink like some thuggish flamingo,” read the pages of South China Morning Post. There was no hiding it: China was fuming at Lionel Messi.Nearly 40,000 had thronged to the Hong Kong Stadium to watch him play, how could he ditch them at the last second? Speculation ran amok. ‘Was it a snub to mainland China from the world’s most popular footballer?’ Regina Ip, member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, went as far as suggesting, “Messi should never be allowed to return to Hong Kong”, calling the Argentine a ‘hypocrite’. An attempt was made to douse the political flames as Messi took to China’s biggest social media app to address the aforementioned claims as ‘false’. But the damage was done and strange as it may sound, for his club – Inter Miami – it was one of the man...

I think that, in a way these awards are losing credibility: Cristiano Ronaldo on Ballon D’Or and The Best

After controversially claiming that the Saudi Pro League was better than the French Ligue, Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo said on Sunday that the Ballon D’Or and The Best awards were losing their credibility. Interestingly, both the awards were won by Ronaldo’s rival Lionel Messi this time around. “I think that, in a way these awards are losing credibility. It’s not to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappe… but the numbers are there and the numbers don’t deceive. You have to consider the entire season,” Ronaldo said to Record. “The numbers are facts.

Six months on, that statement doesn’t seem to hold up.Despite the influx of huge names like Neymar and Karim Benzema, a shocking number of matches have seen a plummet in attendance.

Some footballing inevitabilities of the New Year: The two ageless emperors of our times, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, would continue their journey into timelessness.
