❗️ Robert Lewandowski: "Lamine Yamal’s World Cup? To be honest, this wasn't Lamine Yamal’s best version, in the 2026 World Cup."

🚨Pau Cubarsí was asked who he believes is the better player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
🎙️ Reporter: “Pau, you’ve now faced both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Who gave you the tougher game?”
🗣️ Pau Cubarsí: “They’re two completely different players, but based on my experience, Cristiano Ronaldo gave me the toughest game.
“When we played against Cristiano, there was always the feeling that one moment could change everything. Even if he wasn’t involved for long periods, you knew he only needed one chance to score.
“I remember one occasion when he beat me, created space from a very difficult angle and still managed to get an incredibly powerful shot away. It reminded me why he’s one of the greatest goalscorers football has ever seen.
“Against Messi, our team defended very well collectively and managed to limit his influence. We stayed compact, worked together, and made it difficult for him to find the spaces he usually exploits.
“If you’re asking me who caused me more problems personally in those matches, I’d say Cristiano Ronaldo. Based on what I experienced on the pitch, he was the more difficult opponent to defend.”#spain#argentina#Soccer#worldcup#capcut
🚨 BREAKING: Nicolas Otamendi announces his RETIREMENT from the Argentina National Team 💙🇦🇷
🗣️ "Today I have to write the hardest words of my entire career.
"Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of wearing the Argentina national team shirt. It was the greatest privilege football ever gave me. I defended it with all my soul, with pride, and with the responsibility of knowing what it means to millions of Argentinians.
"Fate decided that my last match would be a World Cup final. It wasn’t the result we wanted, but I leave with my head held high, knowing this group fought until the very last second.
"I say goodbye with the peace of mind that I gave absolutely everything. I never held anything back, I never stopped believing, and I never stopped feeling that wearing this shirt was the greatest honor of my life.
"Thank you to the Argentine fans. Thank you for your unconditional love, for every flag, every song, and for standing by us through the good times and, above all, the hardest ones. You made us feel that every time the national anthem played, we weren’t just eleven players, we were millions of people defending the same dream.
"Thank you to my family. You were my refuge after every setback and my strength through every challenge. You endured the distance, the time apart, the tears, and the frustrations. I never walked this path alone; every step we took together.
"And to those who continue wearing this shirt today, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart, never stop believing. There will be moments that seem impossible to overcome, but this shirt always rewards those who defend it with humility, sacrifice, and love. Keep your heads up, keep fighting, and never let one defeat take away your hope. I’m convinced that the next chapter of our history will belong to you.
"Today I say goodbye to the Argentina national team, but with immense pride for having represented my country. Titles remain in history, but the love for these colors lasts forever.
"Thank you, Argentina. Thank you for allowing me to fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion and wearing the most beautiful shirt in the world."
LEGEND.
