1. Because Ronaldo always has to be making news

Timed with the France-Belgium semi...but look at meeee!

Couldn't wait until later this week. Nah.

Anyway, awesome player. No criticism there.

2. So true

He is the ultimate show pony. Serie A should suit him now that he's getting older.

3. Wow

That was surprising

4. How long before Real Madrid buy Mbappe?

5. That's a tough one

I'm not so sure PSG will let him go so easily. Plus they have to think their chances in the CL just got a boost.

6. Ronaldo is a one person show

He carried Portugal to the cup, and is probably a national treasure.
On edit: he is aging gracefully, but still a powerful athlete.
