Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral after hilariously pinching one of his great rival Lionel Messi’s famous phrases during a clip on his new YouTube channel.


Ronaldo, launched his YouTube channel last month, and broke a world record by reaching 15million subscribers within the first 24 hours.

He has already sat down for an interview with his former Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand, while he has also uploaded clips of himself alongside his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez.

In a recent upload with Rodriguez, the pair were seen giggling before Ronaldo uttered the line ‘Que Miras bobo’, which translates to ‘what are you looking at, fool?’

And there was a reason behind it, as those are the exact same words that Messi used back in 2022 following Argentina’s World Cup quarter-final victory over the Netherlands.



The ill-tempered game saw 17 yellow cards handed out by referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz, with players from each team confronting one another on multiple occasions.

Argentina had looked to be cruising to victory when they led 2-0 heading into the closing stages, but ex-Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst came off the bench to score twice and force extra time.

The South American nation eventually prevailed on penalties thanks to the heroics of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, but the controversy continued after the game.

During a post-match interview, Messi caught the eye of Weghorst and after believing the forward had been provoking him during the game he shouted ‘what are you looking at, fool?’

The memorable moment instantly went viral, with many shocked to see the usually mild-mannered Messi losing his temper with an opponent.

Weghorst tried to play down the spat afterwards, insisting he had only wanted to show Messi ‘respect’ after a hard-fought contest.

‘I fought against Messi and there were a few moments between us,’ Weghorst told Dutch outlet De Telegraaf.

‘I think he didn’t like it and that it surprised him. But I have a lot of respect for him. He is among the greatest of all time.

‘I wanted to show my respect for Messi after the game, but he didn’t want it.

‘I think he was still angry with me. Oh well, I see it as a great compliment that he knows my name now. Then at least I did something right.’



Ronaldo has now copied Messi’s iconic line, and he appears to still have the desire to emulate him on the pitch by winning the World Cup before he hangs up his boots.

Messi led Argentina to glory two years ago after they scraped past the Netherlands, and Ronaldo seems to have his sights set on playing at a sixth World Cup in 2026.

He will be 41 by the time the tournament gets underway in the USA, Mexico and Canada, but has hinted that he still feels he will be playing at the highest level for years to come.

Addressing his retirement plans earlier this week, the Portuguese superstar told reporters: ‘When the time comes, I’ll move on,’ Ronaldo said. ‘It won’t be a difficult decision to make.

‘If I feel like I’m no longer contributing anything, I’ll be the first to leave.’

🕋 SALAH REMINDER 🕋
Mu‘aadh ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه Narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took him by the hand and said:
(يَا مُعَاذُ ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ ، فَقَالَ : أُوصِيكَ يَا مُعَاذُ لَا تَدَعَنَّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ)
“O Mu‘aadh, by Allah verily I love you, by Allah verily I love you.” Then he said: “I urge you, O Mu‘aadh, never to stop saying at the end of every prayer: Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ibaadatika (O Allah, help me to remember You, give thank to You and worship You properly).”
[رواه أبو داود (1522)]
Sheikh Ibn Baz رحمه الله تعالى commented:
يعني قبل أن يسلم، وإن دعا بعد السلام وبعد الذكر فلا بأس، لكن قبل السلام أفضل.
It means “the final part of the prayer before the greeting (salutation), and if recited after the greeting there is no harm, but reciting it before the greeting is preferable.”
[ شرح رياض الصالحين 16 من حديث (يا معاذ، والله إني لأحبك..)]

Spain‘s Minister for Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, has come out publicly to criticise Royal Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales, after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips.

As Rubiales was congratulating Hermoso on the podium after winning Spain’s first ever women’s World Cup, he grabbed her head and kissed her on the lips.

After the incident, Hermoso was seen streaming celebrations and claiming that she didn’t like it. Meanwhile Rubiales said he would pay no attention to ‘the idiocy’ and ‘idiots’, calling it a show of affection without much importance.

Nevertheless, the incident has blown up and made international headlines. Hermoso herself tried to calm matters by saying that people shouldn’t think twice about it, and that the pair have an excellent relationship.

However Iceta was not willing to let it slide, and grouped himself in with what Rubiales regards as idiots.

“The first thing he has to do is give explanations and make excuses,” Iceta told RNE, as per Diario AS.

“It is the logical and reasonable thing to expect because it is really true that the moment that was lived in Sydney was a very special moment, a moment of many emotions, but precisely those of us who have public responsibilities must be extremely careful, because we are giving a message to the society, and that message is equality of rights, it is respect, and therefore we should avoid any circumstance that can be interpreted that this is a prevalent thing, a person who is in charge cannot force a kiss, it cannot be.”

Iceta continued on to say that Rubiales in the cold light of day must realise the error of his ways.

“As such, from that point of view, what I would like is to hear the president’s explanations and also for him to apologise, because probably when he sees the images he will realise something which perhaps at the time he did not have in mind.”

Iceta was conscious that it was “a sporting event” but also “a moment of equality, rights and respect for women.”

“We all have to be especially careful in our attitudes and our actions. I think it’s unacceptable to kiss a player on the lips to congratulate her and, as I’ve seen it, because I didn’t see it live, but I saw it later on the social networks, it has to be said.”

Iceta is not the only one to voice his discontent. Minister for Equality Irene Montero tweeted out that it was a form of sexual violence.

Cristiano has honoured the death of Pele with a heartfelt Instagram post in tribute to the tragic passing of football’s legendary icon.


The Portuguese forward sent his ‘condolences’ to the former Brazilian striker’s family, before adding that he ‘reciprocated’ all the love that Pele had shown him throughout his career.

Pele passed away after a battle with colon cancer at the age of 82, with numerous players both past and present joining his daughter Kely Nascimento in sending their own emotional messages after the tragic news on Thursday, December 29.


‘My deep condolences to all of Brazil, and in particular to the family of Edson Arantes do Nascimento,’ the five-time Ballon d’Or winner wrote on Instagram.

‘A mere “goodbye” to the eternal King Pelé will never be enough to express the pain that the entire football world is currently embracing. An inspiration to so many millions, a reference yesterday, today and forever.

‘The love you always showed me was reciprocated in every moment we shared even from distance. He will never be forgotten and his memory will live forever in each and every one of us football lovers.

‘Rest in peace King Pelé.’


Pele and Ronaldo shared an amicable relationship, with the former often sending the latter words of support throughout his career.


Earlier in 2022, the Brazil icon told Ronaldo he was looking forward to meeting with him in a congratulatory message after the 37-year-old received a special award from FIFA for breaking the international goalscoring record.

‘I’m looking forward to meeting you in person to give you my hug,’ he said.

‘I recorded this message with great care. See you soon.’

The three-time World Cup winner notched 77 goals in 92 appearances for his country, with his record only recently being matched by current talisman Neymar at the Qatar World Cup.

Several of the games most prominent figures – both past and present – have joined Pele’s daughter in paying tribute to the iconic football star.

Gary Lineker has also paid tribute to a player who many feel was the greatest of all time.

The Lord Mayor of Liverpool is wearing a nervous smile and a gold ceremonial chain the size of a saucer, the kind worn to greet royalty or a foreign dignitary—which feels appropriate, because it’s not every day you get a visit from the Egyptian king. It’s a cloudless fall day in the city, and star Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has come to the town hall to film an interview with an Egyptian TV channel. The producers wanted somewhere aspirational, opulent, to film their national icon, and honestly they couldn’t have picked better. The building is ostentatiously beautiful, late Georgian, all Corinthian columns and gold-filigree cornicing and crystal ballroom chandeliers that the Lord Mayor, a tiny woman named Mary, informs me each weighs a ton. The staff buzzes around nervously, chattering in low voices while the cameras roll in the next room. Salah! Even Mary, an Everton fan—and thus a supporter of Liverpool’s most hated rivals—is excited. “I’m not a bitter Blue,” she whispers, because all rivalries aside, who doesn’t love Mohamed Salah?

In Egypt, where his life story is taught in schools, his nickname is the Happiness Maker. This is as much for his feats on the field—where he has in five seasons led a resurgent Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League titles, breaking umpteen records on the way—as his feats off it. He’s got that million-lumen smile; the Afro-beard combo; the whole wholesome, hardworking, family-man image. In Nagrig, the village in the Nile Delta north of Cairo where Salah grew up, his generosity is legendary: He has paid to build a school, a water-treatment plant, and an ambulance station there, and every month his foundation provides food and money to the destitute.
