The bitter war of words between Piers Morgan and Jamie Carragher shows no signs of slowing down after the broadcaster branded the Liverpool legend a "big baby" on live television. The pair have been trading insults on social media over their contrasting views on Cristiano Ronaldo, and Morgan has now used his talk show to deliver another brutal assessment of the former defender.
Cristiano Ronaldo moved closer to 1,000 career goals by scoring for Al Nassr in their 3-1 AFC Champions League Elite victory against FK Neftchi. The forward put his recent suspension by the Portuguese Football Federation behind him to net the second goal, in a match that was delayed by a tense one-hour security alert in Riyadh following a ballistic missile interception.
Cristiano Ronaldo has provided a fascinating insight into his long-standing rivalry with Lionel Messi, revealing the mutual respect and off-pitch assistance that defined their era of dominance. The Portuguese icon also issued a defiant reminder of his own legacy as he closes in on a historic goalscoring milestone.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been hit with a provisional suspension by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) after walking out on the national team in September. The forward abandoned the squad following a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus, though he remains determined to continue his international career.
Suddenly everything is different after all: Portugal’s federation president Pedro Proenca has announced that Cristiano Ronaldo is welcome back in the national team. Just a few hours earlier, however, everything had looked very different.
