According to Marca newspaper, Cristiano Ronaldo allowed the Marrakech city government to borrow his 4-star Pestana CR7 hotel to shelter victims of the earthquake disaster in Morocco.
“Now, we have convinced the manager of Cristiano Ronaldo’s hotel on the outskirts of the city. They provided us with a room. We slept all night on the road. At 7:00 a.m., they allowed us to enter the hotel without asking for anything,” Irene Seixas – a person in Marrakech – shared on the 24h channel.
A 6.8 magnitude earthquake left the city of Marrakech in ruins. According to sources from the Moroccan Interior Ministry, 2,012 people have died and 1,404 others are in critical condition (as of 6:00 p.m. on September 9 local time).
What did De Bruyne say when choosing between Messi and Ronaldo?
The Man City star said: “Maybe I will choose Ronaldo, because he is a typical striker. Messi is still more of a playmaker. I am already a passer, so you should give me I’m a striker”.
De Bruyne is one of the best players of his generation with superb passing and playmaking abilities. Through what the Belgian player shared, it can be seen that the reason he “scored” Ronaldo was because he simply felt he would benefit a lot when associated with a real goalscorer.
In fact, this is true for De Bruyne. At Man City, he linked up very well with super striker Erling Haaland, forming a terrifying pair. Last season, Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions for Man City, including 36 goals in the Premier League, and De Bruyne contributed many assists among them.
This season, De Bruyne only had 23 minutes on the field in the Premier League for Man City, in the match against Burnley in round 1, due to injury. The Belgian midfielder has muscle problems and is likely to be away from the field until the end of the 2023 calendar year . This is no small loss for Man City, because everyone understands the 32-year-old player’s influence at Etihad.
With Messi and Ronaldo, these two superstars have dominated football for more than 15 years. Both scored a huge number of goals and collected a total of 79 titles and 12 Golden Balls. Until now, although Ronaldo and Messi no longer play football in Europe, the attraction of this duo is still intact.
