Ryerson’s shorts said ‘I’m out’ mid-game… he said ‘not yet’ and kept playing. Professional 😭🩳”

This Saka speech will genuinely touch your heart. What a guy ❤️

Harry Kane is overdoing it now, LOL!!! Is it his first personal achievement?

🚨Lamine Yamal on the letter Lionel Messi sent him after losing the Ballon d’Or to Harry Kane. 🗣️Reporter: Lamine, we heard Messi sent you a personal letter after the ceremony. What did he say to you? 🎙️Lamine Yamal: Honestly, that letter meant more to me than people can imagine. After losing, I tried to act like everything was fine. I congratulated Harry because he deserved his moment, but deep down, I was disappointed. I had dreamed of winning that award, and for a moment, I felt like I had let everyone down. Then Messi's letter arrived. Imagine being a young boy who grew up watching Lionel Messi, and one day, after the most disappointing night of your career, you receive a personal message from him. I sat there reading it, trying to process everything. He told me not to let one ceremony define my career. He reminded me that he didn't win his first Ballon d'Or until he was 22, and he eventually went on to win eight. He basically told me that I was still at the beginning of my journey, and there was no reason to allow one disappointment to make me question my future. But one part of his letter really touched me. He told me: "Lamine, never allow the desire to become the best player in the world to make you forget why you started playing football. Enjoy the game, keep learning, and let time tell your story. You don't have to prove everything today." I read those words several times. Coming from Messi, they meant everything. This is the man I watched growing up, the man who made me fall in love with football. He didn't tell me I deserved to win, and he didn't disrespect Harry Kane. He simply reminded me that my story is far from over. That was when I realised something. I had spent so much time thinking about winning the Ballon d'Or that I was forgetting how special it was just to be living my dream. I may have lost the award, but receiving that letter from Lionel Messi was something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. And one day, if a young player comes to me feeling the way I felt that night, I hope I can give him the same encouragement Messi gave me. Because legends aren't only remembered for the trophies they win. Sometimes, they're remembered for the people they inspire when they have nothing to gain.

Este es probablemente el contraataque más perfecto que he visto.

David Raya, the TRUE Yashin Trophy winner🧤

🚨Robert Lewandowski on Harry Kane Winning the Ballon d’Or Ahead of Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé: “Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or is the right result, and it is a result that football needed. This is what years of work, consistency and quiet determination actually look like when they are finally recognised. Harry spent the best years of his career at Tottenham scoring goals, breaking records and carrying a team that never quite won the biggest prizes. He did not stop. He did not complain every week. He kept performing at the highest level until he moved to Bayern and continued doing exactly the same thing. Now he has the individual award that matches the career he has already built. That is the proper reward for sacrifice, not a consolation prize handed out because the media decided someone was due. Winning it at this stage of his career makes the story stronger, not weaker. Football is not a race to see who can be crowned first. There is a habit now of deciding that certain young players will dominate the next ten years, so they should already be treated as the best in the world. Lamine Yamal is an exceptional talent. Kylian Mbappé is one of the most complete forwards of his generation. Their time may come. But being the face of the future, having the biggest social-media following, or being the most marketable name does not mean the award already belongs to you before a full season has been judged. Harry has proved, over many seasons, that he belongs among the best. That is the difference. For Bayern Munich this is also historic. The last player to win the Ballon d’Or while at the club was Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981. Harry is the first Bayern player to take it in the 21st century. That matters. I know something about scoring goals at the highest level for a long time, winning trophies, and finishing close to this award more than once without ever holding it. It is not easy. That is why I respect what Harry has done. He never stopped doing the hard part of the job. The message is simple. Talent, highlight reels and predictions about future greatness are not the same as delivering the best season. If football wants to stop crowning players mainly on hype, age or commercial appeal, this is what that looks like. Harry Kane did the work for years. Now he has the Ballon d’Or. That should be the standard, not the exception.”

Can we play another el classico this coming Sunday?

If you don't have a sad story with this😅😅😅 please work hard not to have one and thank God 🙏🙏.

DELETE TWO. 🐐🔥 Which TWO strikers are you removing from their prime? 👀⚽

I can't believe that some Manchester United fans wanted Carrick out, someone that revived your mediocre team last season, without him united would have been in the championship now. Y'all didn't even reason about that, you want INNEOS to sack him, thank God INNEOS knows what's the best for Man U. Carrick deserves a chance to turn things around whether you like it or not Carrick must stay put.

Thoughts on this starting XI against Fleetwood.

Good morning FT

Yes bro. I genuinely believe Carrick is more than capable of turning this around for good. I believe he should be given the time to work with his boys and make things right. GGMU 🔴

I'm still trying to understand how Messi made the Ballon d’Or Top 10 ahead of Bellingham without playing in Europe. Because his world cup top performance was more against weak African teams, yet he's ranked ahead of players who competed at the highest level in Europe. WTF is the Ballon d’Or judging at this point??

Hold my beer.

More on Xabi Alonso’s press conference ahead of tomorrow game vs Liverpool: 🗣️ "Emegha is in the squad….For sure, it's important we have him available. He's been training for the last 10 days in a good way to allow him to build up his fitness. Maybe tomorrow he has the chance to play." Xabi Alonso on why didn't Estevao and Welbeck start vs Spurs: 🗣️ "I assess all the options we have, what we have been preparing all the week, to choose the best team for each game. That was the case on Saturday and that is the case tomorrow." @BobbyVincentFL

Shoutout to all the La Liga fans who had their "La Liga is the blueprint, Premier League could never" drafts ready since last week. Harry Kane really ruined the script for them. Go delete those drafts. 😭😂

How many years will it take Arsenal FC to recreate???
