NairalandSARS:

Barca didn't waste anytime to give Messi the number 10 after Ronaldinho.
They also gave the number 10 to riquelme immediately after Rivaldo. So?

Uchasa:


Successful footballer with no major international trophy? Are we Nigerians that bad?

AustineCJ:
you don’t know anything about football just keep shut. La liga have a rule of 1-25 jersey number for first team players, the other numbers are all occupied ... someone have to wear the number 4. Barca didn’t waste time to hand over the num10 to Messi when Ronaldinho left. Man U gave out their famous num7 worn by cantona and Beckham n cr7 to Valencia, depay , dmaria and co ..... what’s the obsession with Real Madrid please ?

Barcelona2021:

David Has won a total of 27 major honours.

no Nigerian player has won a/an half of that.


Paolo Maldini
Joan Cruyff
Oliver Khan
Michael Ballack
Roberto Baggio
Dennis Bergkamp (who recently got unveiled together with other 11 legends to the first phase of EPL hall of fame)
Luis Figo
David Beckham
Frank Lampard
Steven Gerrard
The list goes on, are the football wizards who never won an international trophy.

perhaps international honour might be insignificant after all, unless you disagree that the folks I listed above are not football legends.

Is Afcon even important in the scheme of things? HAHAHAHAHA.

David Alaba remains one of the finest that Nigeria lost to corruption.

Yoruba lagba. OmoOduduwa. The most successful footballer of Nigerian descent.

You dey mind that bro? Even our own Almighty Kanu does not have an international trophy.

@bolded, those lines look familiar. Didn't you say ropes, gallows all in perfect condition? Nice job buddy.
Do you know Haman and Mordecai story?
It's about to repeat itself.

Barcelona2021:

naso, even at 29, Madrid offered him a five year contract.

Reference:
He will have a very tough time with the loss of both Sergio and perhaps Varane. But I guess with the Bernabeau Project and Covid, Real Madrid is lean in the pocket these days to pay over the top for talent and 'Blue Origin' wages.

guychidile:
Has Sergio Ramos left Real Madrid ?

Barcelona2021:

No, not even close.

David Alaba has won a total of 27 major trophies.

David is just 29 year old, he is still gonna win more and more honours.

Commentor:


Does this even make sense?

If his mom had been someone else then he wouldn't be David Alaba.

From Nigeria, we've had talented footballers become conquerors.

His mom is Filipino and his dad Nigerian, yet they lived in Austria but got into the Bayern team in Germany at 16.

Perhaps it was corruption that made it impossible to stay in Austria.
