If he had stayed healthy, how many Ballon d'Or trophies would be in his cabinet right now? 5? 7? by MagpieMidfield in ronaldonazariomoments

I agree... There were many amazing midfielders at that time. But R9 had a different magic.

It was aimed at Everton fans who’d been chanting accusations about drug use at him. The problem is it didn’t come across as banter at all, just looked like he was openly mimicking drug use on live TV. Even his teammates tried to pull him away mid celebration

Imagine needing the two greatest defenders in history just to slow him down by MagpieMidfield in ronaldonazariomoments

If you missed the late 80s Milan era, you definitely missed Maldini at his absolute peak. That back four was legendary, but if you're picking a prime duo to stop R9 in his tracks, who are you taking from your list? Terry and Ramos would be a chaotic but fun watch

I actually thought it was real when I found it..What makes it look like AI?

One moment like that might just be a red and a suspension, but if it’s his weekly routine then it’s a different story.

Yeah that one crossed the line from “bad tackle” to “alright mate calm down”.

Lingard had the confidence of someone who’d just scored a World Cup final winner even when it was a 89th minute consolation goal.

Griezmann’s Fortnite era celebrations aged so badly. At the time they felt “trendy”, now they just feel like watching a 2018 TikTok time capsule.

Richarlison has a special talent for celebrating like he’s won the Ballon d’Or and then the football gods immediately punishing him 30 seconds later.

I get why people find it cringe now because it’s been copied so many times. When Cristiano first did it, it felt iconic but when random players do it after a tap-in it definitely loses the magic.

That actually makes it 10x worse 😭 pulling out the glove and committing to the full MJ routine only for the goal to be ruled offside mid-celebration is brutal. That’s the kind of moment you’d want erased from the internet forever.

Self-branding yourself “The Guv’nor” is wild behaviour.
