1 year agoBecause CR7 is the result of an impressive work ethic. One of a kind. And this creates great admiration beyond football skills & accolades which both CR7 and Messi have.
Joao Vieira Pinto in a Sporting 3 - 6 Benfica derby almost 30 years ago. He scored the first 3 goals and assisted the last 2. He got a 10/10 performance according to all Portuguese newspapers. It never happened to anyone before him and it never happened to anyone after him.
Luis Figo was on that game btw, playing on the Sporting side and scoring the first goal of the game.
