Lionel Messi's 6th Ballon d'Or Fueled Cristiano Ronaldo To Break Multiple Records




Lionel Messi’s 6th Ballon d’Or award fueled Cristiano Ronaldo to turn back the hands of time and break multiple records.

Despite a relatively slow start to the campaign, Ronaldo managed to bounce back and even broke records over the last two months.

His latest feat was scoring a goal for Juventus in his last 10 Serie A games. Another notable record came just a few days ago when Ronaldo became the second fastest player to reach 50 goals in Italian soccer. The legendary forward has surpassed the original Ronaldo, also known as "Il Fenomino," who stands at 3rd after completing the feat in 77 games.

On top of that, the Portuguese superstar has also scored against every active Serie A side he has faced and now has the chance to make a sweep when Juventus play Brescia and Lecce on February 16 and March 15.

While Ronaldo’s series of record-breaking performances were already impressive, it has to be noted that “CR7” is already 35-years-old. Given his age, Ronaldo hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down.

Many are convinced that the Juve star is no doubt being motivated by the return of his favorite competition - the Champions League. It is also believed that Ronaldo is hyped up about the prospect of the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament in the summer.
Since the Argentine won his sixth Ballon d'Or back in December 2, no player in the world has scored more goals than Ronaldo, Give Me Sport reported.
He has already notched 14 for Juventus, while Messi has only bagged 5 with Barcelona in what has been evidently a difficult few months for Barca and its captain.

Liverpool have officially announced their intention to pay staff in full after originally making the decision to use the UK government’s furlough scheme. Liverpool have made a u-turn over their decision to place the non-playing staff on furlough amidst the ongoing pandemic. The Reds have been  under intense criticism since announcing that they will place their non-playing staff on furlough , leaving the government to pay 80% of their wages. Liverpool were among five clubs including Tottenham, Newcastle, Norwich and Bournemouth to have made such moves with the public heaping a huge discontent on those actions. Many claim the Reds have ample resources to still pay all staff in full and showed a lack of class by resorting to that line of action. After much deliberation, Liverpool have now announced they will be taking back that action and will now pay staff in full.
