Ronaldo left Manchester United on mutual consent in November to join the Saudi Professional League, SPL club, Al-Nassr. Speaking with Telemundo, the model revealed that her children have had some issues at school especially when they encounter their fellow children. “At school there are times when they get hit and they don’t defend themselves and they sink. The other day one of my children who had been hit, I received him and he started crying, ‘Mom!’ “And I thought he had caught a hand. I tell him what’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with you ‘A child hit me’, and I tell him: ‘Well, and you don’t know how to defend yourself with what you warm up at home?” Cristiano Ronaldo, a former Sporting Lisbon, Ma...

Georgina Rodriguez, girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that they once made love at an unusual place, a spar. The Spanish model, said this while speaking to her friend and Telecinco collaborator, Ivan during an episode of her new Netflix series, ‘Soy Georgina.’ Georgina has become Ronaldo’s most serious love interest since the Portuguese broke up with his former girlfriend, Russian Irina Shayk.

  Former Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly found out who prevented his return to Santiago Bernabeu despite the club’s president Florentino Perez’s approval. According to El Nacional, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was the reason behind Ronaldo’s return to Los Blancos not materializing on two occasions in the recent past. Ronaldo left the Spanish La Liga champions back in 2018 as the club’s all-time record goalscorer with 450 goals in 438 matches to join Juventus. During Ronaldo’s time in Spain, Real Madrid won three back-to-back UEFA Champions League trophies before his departure. However, the Portugal captain eventually left Juventus in 2021 to re-joined Man United for a second spell. After his relationship with Man United broke in 2022, Ronaldo wanted a return to Real Madrid and his then agent Jorge Mendes tried to make it happen, but Ancelotti reportedly denied the dream move.0 

  Cristiano Ronaldo’s scathing criticism over Manchester United’s lack of “evolution at the club” and dated training facilities have been backed up by a former Red Devils player. The 38-year-old Portuguese forward pulled no punches towards the Premier League club during his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV last November. Ronaldo, who returned to Old Trafford in 2022 after his spell with Juventus, ruthlessly slammed the likes of Erik ten Hag, the Glazer family and Ralf Rangnick. The Al Nassr superstar also spotlighted what he believed to be a lack of development at the club since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. Speaking to Morgan, Ronaldo said: “Nothing changed, surprisingly. Not only the pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym. Even the kitchen, the chefs, whom I appreciate -- lovely people. They stopped in time. It surprised me a lot. “I thought I would see other things, technologies and infrastructure. Unfortunately, we see a lot of what I used to see at 21, 22 and...

  Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has detailed why Alejandro Garnacho reminds him of a young Cristiano Ronaldo and what he needs to do to improve. It has been a year to remember for the Argentine forward, who has made 31 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side in all competitions this season. And after scoring important goals against Real Sociedad, Fulham and Leeds, the teenager has reportedly reached an 'agreement in principle' to sign a new five-year deal with the Premier League club. Garnacho's influence has been there for all to see, especially from off the bench, where he often makes a real impact when given the chance to shine. He has been praised by many of late. Earlier this month, former United striker Robin van Persie labelled the 18-year-old a 'very talented' player for the way he handles pressure. And now, one of the club's all-time greats says Garnacho reminds him of a younger version of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Speaking to YouTube channel...

  Paris Saint Germain defender Sergio Ramos is reportedly the subject of an eye-watering contract offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal. After spending 15 trophy-laden years at Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, Ramos moved to French side PSG on a free transfer back in 2021. Despite being at the age of 37, Ramos is still highly regarded and is now attracting offers from the Middle East. According to French news outlet L’Equipe, Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are ready to offer Ramos a two-year deal. It has been reported that Al Hilal are willing to offer Ramos a net salary of €30 million (£26.4m) per year, which is almost four times the reported wage he takes home at PSG. Al Hilal are currently sitting in fourth position in the Saudi Professional League and they will be taking on Al Khaleej on Saturday. However, it has been claimed by Sportsmail that Ramos was in favour of staying with the Parc des Princes club and that PSG are wanting to keep hold of the Spaniard. The club also rep...

  Abbey Clancy, the wife of former England and Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has revealed she once smacked the bum of a well-known football manager. Clancy revealed the story alongside her husband Crouch during an episode of The Therapy Crouch podcast. During the show, Clancy stated that she didn’t know the person she slapped was actually famous. She also went on to say that every time she bumps into the person, he would bend over and offer her another slap. Speaking on the podcast, Clancy said: “So I actually slapped a football manager's bottom, by mistake, it was dare that someone made me do, without telling me it was a football manager. “And now every time I see him he's like [bends over] 'go on, you know you want to’.” Crouch then said: “Make your own minds up [as to] who that is.” Then Clancy replied: “You don't want to expose him, the bumee [*laughs*] … I'm the bum smacker and he's the bum smackee.” Whilst they did not reveal who the football manager was,...

  Manchester United takeover bidder Thomas Zilliacus has taken aim at the Glazers for appearing to miss an 'additional revenue' opportunity - but failed to expand on what it is. Zilliacus made his comments after United's financial results were released on Thursday. In the figures over a three-month period to December 31, 2022, the Reds posted a net profit of £6.3m. However, revenue compared to the previous year was down 10 per cent, to £167.3m. This is mainly due to United's failure to qualify for this season's In a tweet responding to the financial results, Zilliacus wrote: "The latest financial figures released by Manchester United show the club has missed one revenue source that could bring in more money than any of the current ones. If XXI Century Capital's bid wins that will change." Following that tweet, many United fans responded to the Finnish businessman asking him what this extra revenue source was. An hour later, Zilliacus replied but chose ...

  Chelsea will reportedly block a return to Barcelona for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer despite looking to offload the Gabon international less than a year on from signing the 33-year-old from La Blaugrana. The former Arsenal captain has endured a torrid spell upon his return to London, making just 18 appearances across all competitions for the Blues, in which he has scored on just three occasions. Additionally, Chelsea boss Graham Potter excluded Aubameyang from his squad for the Champions League knockout stages with the Gabonese striker yet to start in the Premier League since the World Cup-enforced break. Admittedly, the ex-Arsenal favourite has been unlucky following his move to Stamford Bridge, having chosen to join the Blues in order to reunite with former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel, who was subsequently sacked just days after the 33-year-old's arrival. However, Aubameyang hasn't helped his predicament, reportedly infuriating his current emplo...

  Lionel Messi could find himself playing in an unfamiliar position if he is to make a stunning return to Barcelona. With his contract with Paris Saint Germain set to expire at the end of the current season, nothing has been agreed yet and Messi’s future at the club is currently up in the air. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has been in fine form this season having scored 18 goals and assisted 17 in 32 appearances across all competitions for PSG. As he continues to be linked with what will be an emotional return to Barcelona, he may find himself playing in a new position if he is to move back to the Camp Nou. According to Spanish new outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona boss and Messi’s former teammate Xavi could play him in midfield. It has been reported that Xavi would be interested in using Messi as one of four midfielders in his 4-3-3 system. This means the Argentine will likely take over from youngster Pablo Gavi as a false left winger who will move inside as an ‘interior’ when...

  Tammy Abraham has revealed he was keen to join Arsenal from Chelsea before a mystery phone call scuppered the proposed transfer. Abraham, 25, left Chelsea in 2021 to reunite with Jose Mourinho at Roma, with the Italian side paying £34m to sign the England international on a five-year deal. It immediately looked like a shrewd piece of business, with Abraham hitting the ground running in his first season in Italy. He scored 27 goals in all competitions and finished the campaign with silverware after Roma beat Feyenoord in the inaugural Europa Conference League final. Abraham has found his second season abroad a much sterner test, managing only seven goals in 38 appearances. But he retains the backing of Roma boss Mourinho, who played a key role in convincing the striker to move to Italy. Abraham reveals Mourinho phone call Speaking to FourFourTwo, Abraham has revealed he was keen to move to Arsenal in 2021 before he received a call from an unknown number, which turned out to be Mou...

 Football lovers are split up on who between Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger was the better Premier League manager.  The two celebrated managers monopolized the English top flight for years, with each of them leading their respective clubs to tremendous altitudes.  Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have both been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in recognition of their achievements while in charge of Manchester United and Arsenal, respectively. Ferguson has been recognised after winning a record 13 Premier League titles during his illustrious long spell at Manchester United.

Advocates of Wenger point to the way he revolutionised English football in terms of foreign signings, diet...

  Seven months after undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger saved two penalties against Champions League holders Lyon to send Chelsea into the semi-finals of Europe's elite competition. The 32-year-old German, who helped the Blues win a historic third successive Women's Super League title in May, confirmed back in August that she had been re-diagnosed with thyroid cancer after four years in remission. It was a real setback but the inspirational Berger refused to let the return of her cancer stop her. She remarkably returned to action just over a month later, playing in Chelsea's WSL clash against Manchester City. And several months later, she was the hero on a memorable night against the mighty Lyon at Stamford Bridge. Last year, Chelsea’s Ann-Katrin Berger beat thyroid cancer for a second time 💪 Last night, she sent Chelsea into the #UWCL semi-finals after saving two penalties against the defending champions 👏🤩 pic.twitter.com/zcS...

Gary Neville thinks former Manchester United teammate Denis Irwin is the best full-back in Premier League history and well, it has caused an almighty debate on Twitter. The 48-year-old Sky Sports pundit, who spent 19 trophy-laden years at United between 1992 and 2011, enjoyed playing in a back four with some of the greats, including former Republic of Ireland international Irwin. After joining from Oldham Athletic in a deal worth £625,000, the reliable full-back made 368 appearances for the Reds during a 12-year period, where he lifted seven league titles, three FA Cups and a Champions League trophy. Irwin was ever-present throughout the 90's under Sir Alex Ferguson, who famously named him as the first player in his dream Manchester United XI, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. Ask any United fan and they will wax lyrically over Irwin's consistency. In fact, former teammate Gary Neville said this week that he is the greatest full-back the Premier League...

Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona are set to spend next season away from the Camp Nou as they plan to redevelop their famous old ground. The decision came after plans to improve their stadium were approved by the club’s board on Thursday. Barcelona’s senior officials gave the financial plan the green light to start the Espai Barca project. Redevelopment plans are being backed by US investment firms Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, with Barcelona set to receive up to £1.3 billion to finance the renovations. According to The Athletic, a final agreement between the US firms is expected soon and could be made official within the next 24 hours. On Thursday, the Catalan club told the City Council and UEFA that they will play their home matches at the Estadi Lluis Companys during the 23/24 season. This will be the first time as 1957 that Barcelona will not use the Camp Nou as their home stadium. The Estadi Lluis Companys is located on Montjuic, a large hill which is southwest of Barcelona’s city c...

  Manchester United are set to be without youngster Alejandro Garnacho for the final weeks of their season with the 18-year-old expected to be picked to play for Argentina at this summer's FIFA U20 World Cup. The World Cup winners' U20s side hadn't yet qualified for the tournament until automatically qualifying when Argentina replaced Indonesia as the competition's host nation. With this summer's championships set to start on 20 May with the final scheduled for 11 June, the winger will have to depart for international duty before the season ends with United's final Premier League game at home to Fulham set to be played on May 28. Additionally, Erik ten Hag's men could also see themselves with two other fixtures beyond this point should they reach the finals of the Europa League (31 May) and FA Cup (3 June). Garnacho had been expected to be called up to the senior side for the international break but suffered an ankle injury against Southampton earlier this m...

  Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed that his reign at Stamford Bridge was terminated in a ruthless three-minute meeting having been dismissed 100 days into Todd Boehly's ownership of the west London outfit. Despite overseeing the Blues' second-ever Champions League victory 15 months prior, the German was relieved of his duties in September following a 1-0 Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb. Additionally, Chelsea had accumulated ten points in the first six Premier League matches of the campaign with embarrassing defeats coming at Leeds United and Southampton in August. Now, the ex-Chelsea manager finds himself back in his homeland having been appointed as Julian Nagelsmann's replacement at Bayern Munich over the international break. Interestingly, the German's first match in charge comes against his former club Borussia Dortmund in what is set to be a crucial contest in the Bundesliga title race. When addressing the media ahead of hosting his former...

  The quickest players in the Premier League have been revealed, with a somewhat surprising budding star coming out on top. Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk, Liverpool's Darwin Nunez and Manchester City's Erling Haaland, among others, have been some of the standout players in terms of speed. Mudryk burst onto the Premier League scene after making a blistering debut against Liverpool, where he registered a top speed of 36.63 km/h. Nunez and Haaland have also shown off their searing pace in England's top flight, but none of the three players top the list of quickest players in the league.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed that there were “only ever two reasons” why Sir Alex Ferguson would summon one of his players to his office. Ferguson etched his name in the history books after a remarkable managerial career at United, with the legendary Scotsman announcing his retirement in 2013. The 81-year-old United legend lifted a whopping 13 Premier League titles, five Champions Leagues and five FA Cups during his legendary 26-year reign. Ferguson was recently announced as an inductee into the Premier League Hall of Fame alongside legendary former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. Ferdinand was brought to Old Trafford by Ferguson for a then-British-record fee of £30m from United’s rivals Leeds in 2002. The 44-year-old former United defender hoovered up major silverware under Ferguson, with Ferdinand lifting six Premier League titles, a Champions League and two FA Cups. Following on from Ferguson’s induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Ferdina...

The Qatar World Cup final was an incredible match – unless you were Patrice Evra. The former French international has said that he was in tears following Argentina’s victory. It was a sensational clash to watch, with Lionel Messi’s team the much better side in the first half and taking a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from the PSG forward and Angel Di Maria. Argentina remained two goals in front until the last ten minutes when two goals from Kylian Mbappe dragged France back into the game. And following Messi’s extra-time goal, the Frenchman netted again to send the game to penalties. Despite his valiant effort to guide France to a second consecutive World Cup, it was Messi and Argentina who prevailed. Evra was in pain for three days In an Instagram post after the game, Messi said he had fulfilled his dream. “So many times I dreamed it, so much I wanted it that I still don't fall, I can't believe it,” he said.

Malmo FF defender Lasse Nielsen was forced to undergo emergency surgery after he was accidentally 'kicked in the crotch' by a teammate. The 35-year-old centre-back, who has made over 100 appearances for the most successful club in Sweden, was absent from Henrik Rydström's squad for almost two weeks following the incident. But the former Gent defender returned to training on Friday ahead of this weekend's league clash against Kalmar FF. Speaking to the outlet FotbollSkane about the unfortunate incident, Nielsen said: "Maybe it was my own fault. It was not an ugly incident from Hugo. It was pure bad luck." He added: "The slap itself was as usual when you get a kick in the groin, but this didn't go away. It's not something you're used to. Often you get a ball or a hit, then four or five minutes pass and that's fine." Nielsen, a defender with one Denmark cap to his name, proceeded to give an update on his situation after going for emergen...

Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun has been told to "stop lying to the world" by his manager Will Still. Balogun has blossomed into one of the most exciting prospects in Europe following a hugely successful loan spell at Reims. The 21-year-old has scored 18 goals in all competitions this term, with no other player aged 21 or under having scored as many across Europe’s top five leagues. Despite his prolific form, Balogun's future is currently up in the air, and he is set to return to Arsenal at the end of the season where he will determine his next step. In the meantime, the striker has developed a strong bond with Reims manager Still, who has also made a name for himself this season. Will Still: "Stop lying to the world" Still has relied on Balogun for almost half of Reims' goals this season. However, the pair share a playful relationship which has now made its way on to social media. The Gunners loanee posted a picture of himself and his teammates on Instagram,...

As he spoke to reporters on that momentous day in July 2012, then Coca-Cola ambassador Ronaldinho made a decision that would cost him a serious amount of money. The former Barcelona playmaker was only days into his spell at Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro when he was plonked in front of the media for a question and answer session. At the time, Ronaldinho was sponsored by Coca-Cola and according to reports, he was earning $760,000 [£500,000] per-year from the deal that was set to expire in 2014. With all that in mind, his decision to sit beside two cans of Pepsi, one of Coca-Cola's main competitors, during the press conference was a defining moment in his journey with the drinks brand. It was seen by many as harsh considering Mineiro were sponsored by Pepsi at the time, and the cans were thought to be put on tables during press conferences as procedure. But rumours soon emerged that Ronaldinho took a sip from one of the cans during the infamous Q&A session. Days later and Marcel...

McTominay has hardly featured for Manchester United this season, appearing mostly off the bench. He's lost his place to the likes of Marcel Sabitzer, Fred, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. And even when he's played, the midfielder has failed to impress. He painted a different story with Scotland though, netting a brace in each of his two international games so far. Scotty has also been linked with a move to Newcastle United, which could potentially materialise in the summer transfer window. In an interview with Shields Gazette, McTominay said: "You have to set high expectations for yourself,". "You can't just go into games hoping to do well. You must go in believing. "I spoke to the manager [Steve Clarke] and he said, 'I don't think you're playing with a smile on your face, and I want to see the smile come back out'. "That was the first day I arrived [with the national squad] and I thought, 'do you know what, he is right'. ...

  Chelsea knocked out holders Lyon in a penalty shootout to reach the semifinals of the Women's Champions League after a thrilling second leg at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. Maren Mjelde's VAR-awarded penalty with the final kick of extra time cancelled out goals from Lyon's Vanessa Gilles and Sara Däbritz to level the tie up at 2-2 and send the quarterfinal to spot kicks following Chelsea's 1-0 win in the first leg. Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger was the hero for Chelsea in the shootout, saving from Wendie Renard and, finally, from Lindsey Horan to set up a semifinal clash with Barcelona. In a game of seemingly endless chances, Berger had to be on her toes from the get go with Delphine Cascarino stinging her gloves three minutes in. Lyon also saw two Gilles headed chances at corners go begging, while Bruun had another effort saved by Berger. Managing to ease the pressure and grow into the game as they did in the first leg, Chelsea began to carve out their own chances and ...
