Today is World Teachers Day.

🚨🇵🇹 Jorge Jesus on Cristiano: “In my opinion, you can’t hold a one year friendship against someone over a situation that is difficult to understand”. “Just because it was him. Just because it was him, and perhaps rightly so, because he is a symbol, this whole issue of warming up and not warming up, coming on and not coming on, has been created”. “How many players warmed up today and didn’t come on? How many? Is there going to be a problem with any of them? No”.

CHELSEA ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. 🏆

What's the hardest lesson you've learned?

✨🇵🇹 Vitinha: “You can see the work from the coach Jorge Jesus is making effect on us”. “The performance was fantastic tonight”.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Portugal want to resolve the issue with Cristiano Ronaldo. They will meet with him next week to settle the dispute and avoid the player retiring. — @marca

The Cristiano Ronaldo saga as I understand it. Jorge Jesus became Portugal coach after an underwhelming World Cup performance by Portugal. Jesus was Ronaldo's coach at Al-Nassr, and they won together. At the national team level, the general consensus was that Jesus told Ronaldo he wanted him to be part of the team, so Ronaldo shelved his national team retirement plans. In Jorge Jesus' first game as Portugal manager against Wales, he started Ronaldo, but Ronaldo did not play well and did not give him exactly what he was looking for. For the second game, he told Ronaldo he would be a substitute. During the game, they were leading 1-0 through a first-half goal by Joao Felix. In the second half, Jesus told Ronaldo to warm up early. The problem was that Portugal could not extend their lead and needed to defend well in the final moments of the game. He waited, but the goal did not come, and while trying to defend the lead, he decided to avoid subbing on Ronaldo, who would not contribute much defensively; I personally believe this was the right call. Ronaldo stormed off immediately after the final whistle and did not approach the fans or his teammates. After the game, Jorge Jesus explained that his mistake was telling Ronaldo to warm up and not using him, but he had to do what was best for the team. According to most reports, Ronaldo's anger stemmed from being misled that he would play the last 30 minutes, only to be made to warm up for nothing. In my opinion, however, this is something that happens in most games. Players are told to warm up to be ready in case they are needed. At his age, it is very unethical to let him onto the pitch without a proper warmup to avoid muscle injury. The manager did little wrong as he had to prepare him for the possibility of making a second half appearance, but the flow of the game wouldn't let him. It's part of the game and happens every time. Subs can't be guaranteed, it all depends on the demand of the game. However, the Portuguese FA reportedly tried to calm things down between the pair in a meeting. Everything looked settled between all parties and Ronaldo expected to resume training. Then the last move that broke the Camel's back; Jorge Jesus' pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Denmark, where he acknowledged that everything was settled and Ronaldo was expected in training "but" maintained that he was in charge and won't give any player any special treatment: “I’m the coach. I can promise whatever I want. No player will ever make a decision for me. The rules are the same for everyone. The status [of a player] doesn’t give them different rights,” he said. He went on to confirm that Gonzalo Ramos would start ahead of Ronaldo if everything goes according to plan. Now, this is the part I faulted Jorge Jesus. He coached Ronaldo at Al Nassr, understood his temperament and knew that Ronaldo won't take those comments as they sounded like a personal attack or warning to Ronaldo that he was not going to dictate what happens in his team. And Ronaldo packed his bags called in his private jet and left the camp. I'm not saying that Ronaldo was right to walk away but Jesus actually knew what he was doing. He should've played to the gallery on the outcome of the meeting, but he publicly tried to announce that he's the only captain in the Portugal's ship. And Ronaldo didn't like that. It was a clash of egos, but Jesus is Jesus, he's not someone you can drag authority with. He would rather resign. That has been him ethos from day one. He's a big character like Jose Mourinho. Both were wrong at some point in the case. But Ronaldo will look worse for it, because in football, nobody is bigger than the team and the coach put together. It's a team sport that demands respect for the shirt, for the coaches and for the teammates irrespective of your status. A Ronaldo or a Messi or a Pele or a Maradona can't win anything without their coaches and teammates. 1/3

🚨🇭🇷 BARÇA WANTED JOŠKO GVARDIOL! Barcelona identified the Manchester City defender as one of their preferred centre-back targets for the summer. However, Gvardiol’s high transfer fee and salary made a deal extremely difficult for the Catalan club. @mundodeportivo

You have $10. A Titan is breaking through the wall. Who's on your defense squad??

You’d never believe that Ronaldo is 41 years of age by the way he acts it’s actually embarrassing.

Chelsea have activated £35m release clause into Michael Olise’s contract — deal advancing to final stages 🚨🔵 Clause has always been there despite denials and all parties will be in touch to finalise the agreement. Olise already said yes to Chelsea, time to fix details.

Did you see Ronaldo scoring free kicks like that at 39?

Jorge Jesus really said: “Erik ten Hag mode activated.” 💀🇵🇹
