[GOAL]Frank Leboeuf via Betvictor: "For me, Portugal are actually one of the contenders for this summer's European Championships. I actually think they can win the Euros, but only if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't play."
Erling Haaland on if Lionel Messi has to retire for someone else to win Ballon d'Or and The Best FIFA Player award: "I don't know, it's a good question. Messi is the best player that has ever played football and won 2022 World Cup."
Thierry Henry on Jude Bellingham's season: "I had the opportunity to play in many leagues, but footballers have it easy in England. The pressure & expectation you have to endure in Real Madrid or Barca. This makes it even more special. Then you take Zidane's 5 & celebrate like this? Well done mate"
Rafael Leão: "Today’s football is only about stats & I don’t like it. Football is magic & joy. People who only think about numbers make me angry. People must be entertained so that I can have fun too. I'm a fan of aesthetics & beauty. In football, fashion, music & love. I am a complete player"
Frank Leboeuf: "It annoys me when Cristiano Ronaldo is saying the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1. Why do you think he make that comment on Ligue 1 rather than the Portuguese League? It’s because Lionel Messi played in Ligue 1. I respect CR7. But come on, just shut up! It's unfair to Ligue 1
Ligue 1 will no longer be called "Uber Eats Ligue 1". McDonald’s has bought the naming rights for €60 mil over 3 years, so from next year the Championship will be called "Ligue 1 McDonald’s".
