The Bumpy Ride of Ronaldo’s Five Football Faves…
Back in 2019, the Brazilian Ronaldo felt like a football fortune teller. But he might want to consider a new crystal ball. When asked which players would rule the football galaxy, he passed over Cristiano “CR7” Ronaldo, who was busy terrifying defenders with Juventus goals. Instead, Original Ronaldo’s hit list featured Messi, Salah, Hazard, Neymar, and Mbappe. So, where are these once bright stars now?
Neymar was dubbed the dazzling successor to icons like Ronaldinho. But after his jaw-dropping £200 million move to PSG, things got a little, well, loopy. Despite the fairy-tale trio with Messis and Mbappé, the Champions League slipped through his fingers. Fast forward to his Saudi adventure, sidelined by an injury but not by the whopping £83.5m paycheck. Not one to sulk, he’s back home in Brazil, making waves with Santos.
Meanwhile, Messi’s swapped European spotlights for sunny Florida, basking in beachside football glory with Inter Miami. As rumors swirl about another World Cup hurrah, Salah’s scoring goals like it’s going out of style at Liverpool. Hazard, however, took an early retirement after hobbling around Real Madrid. In contrast, Mbappe is living the dream in Madrid, scoring goals faster than a Spanish bull in a china shop. Is Ronaldo’s crystal ball up for sale? Asking for a friend!
