Ronaldo Picks Savinho Over Rising Stars…
Cristiano Ronaldo, ever the maverick, stunned football fans by choosing Manchester City winger Savinho as the top young player above Lamine Yamal. It’s like choosing a rubber duck over a luxury yacht in a maritime beauty pageant! Savinho, a dazzling 21-year-old talent, has drawn Tottemham’s eyes despite not scoring buckets of goals but assisting 13 times. He’s juggling offers like a clown with a dozen balls, while Pep Guardiola might sprout a few grey hairs contemplating selling him.
At the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Ronaldo’s rogue vote for Savinho contrasted starkly with other icons like Messi, Benzema, and Modric, who backed Yamal to win the Kopa Award. Yamal might break records faster than vinyl at a DJ party, all thanks to Spain’s Euro 2024 win. Yet, the award buzz couldn’t overshadow Ronaldo’s unusual ranking, putting the Brazilian above all but Yamal. Meanwhile, Guardiola, resisting temptation to sell, continues praising Savinho’s immense potential—though if he stays, perhaps City’s trophy cabinet should get ready for a growth spurt!
