🚨Kylian Mbappé on Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or ahead of him and Lamine Yamal: 🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: “To be honest, I sat there throughout the ceremony and listened to everything. I barely moved from my seat because, at some point, I genuinely wanted to see whether they were going to invite us onto the stage or simply hand every award to the Spanish players! “Every time they announced a winner, it felt like another Spanish player was going to collect a trophy. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Okay, let’s see how this ends.’ “At one point, Michael Olise turned to me and said, ‘Kylian, when did the Ballon d’Or become a country achievement?’ “I laughed and told him, ‘Just sit down and watch. We haven’t seen the final award yet.’ “Then Lamine won the Young Player of the Year award. Congratulations to him, because he is an incredible talent. But we were still waiting for the biggest prize of the night. “Finally, they announced the men’s Ballon d’Or winner, and it was Harry Kane. “Honestly, if I had to choose between Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal winning it ahead of me, I would rather see Harry win it. “Not because I have anything against Lamine. He is a fantastic player, and I respect what he has achieved. But Harry represents something I deeply respect about football. He has worked for years, carried enormous expectations and continued to deliver at the highest level. “Seeing him lift that trophy made me happy. I was proud of him, genuinely. But let me be clear: I didn’t travel to that ceremony to support Harry Kane. I went there because I wanted to win the Ballon d’Or myself. “And I think people sometimes forget that. You can respect another player, congratulate him and appreciate his achievement while still being disappointed that you didn’t win. “I sat there watching him celebrate, and part of me was happy for him. Another part of me was asking what I needed to do differently to make sure I would be the one standing on that stage next time. “People might look at my reaction and say, ‘Mbappé should be grateful to be nominated.’ Of course I’m grateful. But I didn’t reach this level by being satisfied with nominations. “I want to win. I want to be the best. And when I lose, I don’t suddenly pretend that winning was never important to me. “I would rather lose the Ballon d’Or to a player I respect than win the sympathy of people who tell me I deserved it after the ceremony.” “Harry had his night, and I respect that. But my story isn’t finished. If working harder, scoring more goals, improving my game and taking greater responsibility are what it takes, then that is exactly what I will do. “I won’t ask anyone to feel sorry for me. I won’t complain about the result. I will go back to work. “Because the next time I walk into that ceremony, I don’t want to sit there wondering whose name they are going to announce. “I want to hear my own name and I want nobody to have an argument about whether I deserve it.”

Pues a mí me parece que esa grama en El Campín está quedando muy bien. En medio de los aguaceros. Y en la foto aérea el laboratorio de grama en la cancha La Florida, en el que están usando predios que estaban en desuso, en convenio con el @IDRD

Se calentó el parche en el D1 😱😱😱

🚨Conmebol estudiaría cambiar la sede de la final de la Copa Sudamericana, si dos equipos brasileños llegan por el título, afirman medios brasileños. La sede es Barranquilla, que hizo una gran inversión para remodelar el escenario. Palmeiras, Flamengo y Fluminense están clasificados a semifinales, junto a Estudiantes. Sería el colmo de los colmos.

🚨🎙️ Rodri Speaks On Why He Chose Barcelona Over Real Madrid 👀 🗣️ “I had the opportunity to consider Real Madrid, but honestly, I knew what I would be walking into. That dressing room is filled with players who have already reached legendary status. Huge personalities, massive egos, Champions League winners and football royalty. At Madrid, you don’t simply arrive and become one of the main men — you have to fight for your voice and earn your place among the elite. Barcelona felt different. I already had strong relationships with several Spanish players there, so the transition would be much easier. I knew I would immediately have people around me who trusted me, listened to me and understood my football. At Barça, I can be myself, take responsibility and have a bigger influence on the team. At Real Madrid, I might have had to spend years proving that I belonged in that hierarchy. So, if I’m being completely honest, Barcelona was the easier environment for me. I’d rather be a big fish in a smaller pond than walk into Madrid and realize I’m just another name in a dressing room full of superstars. Maybe Real Madrid has the bigger history and more pressure — but I didn’t choose the club where I would have to fight the hardest for status. I chose the club where I believed I could become one of the faces of the project.” 👀🔥 #Rodri || #Barca || #Madrid || #Mancity
