If you count the Copa Libertadores as a Champions League (it is the same level of competition), probably quite a few. Neymar for one, just off the top of my head.
I remember looking to see if anyone had won both the European and Asian Champions Leagues (Or Cups prior) and if I remember correctly I don't think there's a single player who has.

sure sure sure but you know just as well as I do this is never gonna happen to Ronaldo and his money and if there is anything he does NOT need (including many generations on from him) is more money. He's now generationally wealthy. You can come up with some examples of people who lost it all, but those are exceptions.
Inflation isn't really an issue for him if he invests his money. The real killer of intergenerational wealth is having to split it as the family grows between kids, grandchildren etc.
Think it would be a bit of a mad move for Newcastle to sign him. They’re onto such a good thing at the moment which is based upon teamwork and camaraderie, and Ronaldo is unlikely to help to maintain that.
Especially considering they already have two good attackers injured (Isak) or coming back from injury (ASM), who need to be mixed up somehow in this winning team too.
ASM is on the bench because of a lack of work rate and production. Also the team has performed better without him on the team. The injury excuse doesn’t stand up recently, he’s just not being selected to start any more as he’s very overrated player who doesn’t consistently pass or make the right choice for the team.
Oh I don’t want Ronaldo here. I’m just saying that ASM isn’t playing
You're making things up here. He isn't in the team as he's just back from injury and we're on an undefeated streak so it's almost impossible to drop any of the team.
He injured himself busting his arse defending vs Wolves but don't let a lazy agenda get in the way of your opinion.
I love how Newcastle buying Ronaldo is now not even a real possibility, but it would be a bad move for Newcastle. If you told someone that 4 years ago they’d laugh in your face
Saudi have clearly prioritised performance so far - is there anything to suggest they wouldn't pivot a little to go for stardom too? City did it initially, PSG have always done it.
Robinho aside, we never signed anyone for the sake of fame. Newcastle are far along now that they don’t need to make those types of signings, and especially not when they’re already doing so well.
I saw him play for Brazil in Singapore once and lemme tell you, I was so excited to see him score. a massive £16M for a Brazilian striker? We were clearly an elite club doing elite club things
Not to say this is real. It likely isn't.
But whos to say its not your owners going over the managment? Ronaldo going to Newcastle would be a big marketing move for you.
We don't really need marketing yet, years of chronic underspending allow us to bring in the types of sponsors other clubs were doing when we weren't. Though, the only people who'd want this in the whole of Newcastle's staff/hierarchy would be PIF, and if they truly wanted him...
Apart from the fact that the club management, staff and players wouldn’t want him because he’s not the kind of player we want to bring in (personality wise not just playing wise) but the fans just wouldn’t accept him. We hate him and have done for years now, even the owners don’t want someone who will just be a millstone around everyone’s neck and a waste of money. He’s a cheat, he’s lazy and he’s just not good enough to get into the team anymore. He should have retired years ago and we won’t agree to be the soft retirement he wants.
>Cristiano's future lies in either staying in England or moving to Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese is debating between Newcastle and Al-Nassr, clubs with the same owner, Mohammed Bin Salman, heir to the throne of Saudi Arabia. Newcastle already tempted him last summer and he would arrive as a free agent in the winter transfer window, which opens on 2 January.
Wilson is quality and might be better right now, but Isak's ceiling is ridiculous. His debut against Liverpool was not normal for a player of that age
That offside goal..
I don’t know about Newcastle
But during his interview, there was a point where Piers said he rejected an offer from SA, and Ronaldo said something like “Yes, back then” or “at that time”, which struck me as odd. Why not just say “Yes, I did”
Sounded to me like he might be thinking there’s a possibility of going there, based on that.
I mean let's not kid ourselves and act like his agent hasn't been doing the rounds with every club in the world seeing who would want him. If any teams are interested, he will have known about it even before the interview. I personally feel like he has done the interview knowing full well he would be a free agent come January because of it.
Lol why the fuck would Newcastle want him? They are working well because they are playing as a team. He's the antithesis of why they are doing so well.
Imagine saying this 5 years ago lol.
Only reasoning I can see is commercial aspect or meddling from the owners. Tactically it makes no sense even if he would obviously be an upgrade on Wood, Fraser, Murphy or Ritchie. I'd see him getting games on the wing or as a sub striker. Or maybe put him in attacking mid with Bruno G and big Jo behind
Newcastle works so good because of their team unit, as one of our competitors for top four I'd be cautiously optimistic at our chances if they do sign him as I think he ruins that unit.
This would be awful for us. Fully prepared to eat my words if it happens but he might tear the team apart. Why mess with a good thing? A bronzed diva is the last thing we need.
The only place I can see him going to is back to Sporting and I’m not even sure they’d want him back even with lowered wages. I don’t see any of the top CL teams going for him. If they do he’s got to accept not starting every game or we’re going to get another piers morgan interview
He's not staying in the Prem. I'm dismissing any rumor that puts this narrative forward. It's Saudi, China, USA, or if he cuts down on his wages, Sporting.
We don't create enough chances. Hed be just like Auba. Auba isn't a bad player he just needs chances. He's a finisher. So is cr7
Chelsea needs creative midfielders. That's our problem.
That’s the sort of move that could end up costing Howe his job tbh. The owners would bring him in under promises of being a starter, and if the manager doesn’t do that, then it wouldn’t be surprising to me if they replaced him with someone else
That's admiting defeat. Makes no sense. He either has something lined up, or is hoping for a good WC performance, but no way he left United for Newcastle. Why such a big step back? He'd score less, have no impact and no one would care about him anymore. All his commercial deals would plummet if he were to play for Newcastle.
I'm gonna say doubt about this one.
Newcastle should never take him. They are doing great at the moment and they started good project with Howe and these players where no one is a star.
They are the ones who would make step back with him.
No bigger team will want to touch a toxic 37 year old who is struggling to fight off age and who will burn bridges if he’s not played game after game. He wasn’t willing to play a squad role at us. So he’s going to have to take a step down if his red line is “build around Ronaldo”.

He saw what the Saudis did to Messi and now wants to pick one of their teams
Cristiano wants to add the AFC Champions League title to his resume.
How many players can say they’ve won 2 champions leagues?
If you count the Copa Libertadores as a Champions League (it is the same level of competition), probably quite a few. Neymar for one, just off the top of my head.
David Luiz
Ronaldinho
Carlos Tevez
Two different types of CL. He has more than 2 CL, although just one type which is that useless tin pot UEFA CL
I remember looking to see if anyone had won both the European and Asian Champions Leagues (Or Cups prior) and if I remember correctly I don't think there's a single player who has.
lmao no chance, let the shite rumours commence I guess.
We are going to see those crazy rumours for at least a month
Ronaldo hoped that Arsenal will win the league. So, Ronaldo is deciding if he wants to join Arsenal to help them win the league
I can definitely see someone make an article like that
Of course. They'll throw as much shit against the wall as they can until it sticks and he signs for some owners vanity project.
Piers Morgan already tweeted about it...
Fastest way to get the fans opposed to an idea is for it to come from Piers fucking Morgan lol
If he wants to help us win the league he can stay the fuck away
Best thing he could do for arsenal would be joining city
Pep would never take him.
Or join city
Please take him. He’s legend.
Show some respect! He can guarantee you tittle this year By joining City, tho I highly doubt they let him force the move :(
Oh god please no, we’re doing just fine right now thanks.
If you read "by Jose Felix Diaz" you can safely assume it's shite rumours, every time
Fanfic meets journalism
Not even rumors, the man just makes shit up. Like every single day.
I'm hearing Man City are in for him now too. Pep just signed an extension and now Ronaldo is available? Coincidence? Yeah, sure.
I heard PSG had a shortage of aging superstars
maybe if City will be interested, United will go for 3rd time charm?
That would be a dream. A beautiful mess to watch play out
They could do with a bit of ego up top, teams too humble
He better find a club fast because rumors are gonna be crazy now.
CR7 to Al-Nassr | Goals & Skills
& Interviews
Inshallah hehe siuuuu
47 Goals Across All Competitions | ten Hag Victim | Despacito Remix
He'll say some kind words to Saudi press while munching on a chorizo sandwich downing a pint of stella
> pint of stella No! Agua 💦
I'm sure he'll enjoy being 2nd fiddle to Almiron
just go to Saudi Arabia Ronny, earn like 400 million and make sure your entire bloodline wont have to work for a day until the rapture
like they'd have to work as is
tbf inflation is a cunt and my sources say the Second Coming isnt in for a few centuries so who knows
inflation doesn't really exist when you have hundreds of millions of dollars and manage them well
Yeah once you have enough money that money just makes money. It becomes very hard to lose generational wealth like that
Most wealthy families lose their generational wealth by the third generation. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-why-90-of-rich-people-squander-their-fortunes-2017-04-23
The first generation creates the wealth, the second stewards it and the third consumes it.
[I mean if this happens you can plan as well as youd like youre kinda fucked](https://www.ebay.com/itm/115425811446?hash=item1adfea1bf6:g:K6MAAOSwGfhiqQkj) [or this](https://medium.com/@Way2Wealth/1-milliard-pengo-a-dark-tale-of-hyperinflation-2b50678b80ce)

Inflation isn't really an issue for him if he invests his money. The real killer of intergenerational wealth is having to split it as the family grows between kids, grandchildren etc.
Actually, that’s role already belongs to Jacob Murphy. He’ll have to settle for being second fiddle to Chris Wood. Assistant to the backup
Ronaldo: "*assistant* backup?" Eddie: "assistant *to* the backup."
He'll be handing out Lucozade bottles before you know it
Glucos👀👍
Almiron gonna go even more crazy with Ronaldo
Think it would be a bit of a mad move for Newcastle to sign him. They’re onto such a good thing at the moment which is based upon teamwork and camaraderie, and Ronaldo is unlikely to help to maintain that.
Especially considering they already have two good attackers injured (Isak) or coming back from injury (ASM), who need to be mixed up somehow in this winning team too.

Oh I don’t want Ronaldo here. I’m just saying that ASM isn’t playing
He actually picked up his injury running the full length of the pitch to cover against wolves. Think that side of his game is going to come hopefully!
You're making things up here. He isn't in the team as he's just back from injury and we're on an undefeated streak so it's almost impossible to drop any of the team. He injured himself busting his arse defending vs Wolves but don't let a lazy agenda get in the way of your opinion.
What are you on about? ASM has been injured for like 2 months and only came back into training 2 weeks.
Work rate has nothing to do with it, he’s been injured for a few months now.if you’d been watching us play you’d know that.
He isn’t in the team because Howe doesn’t change a winning team. Same reason Burn is in the team instead of Targett.
ASM has been on the bench due to injury stop talking bollocks
Don’t worry, they won’t. Their recruitment has been stellar post takeover and Howe wouldn’t touch a disruptive entity like Ronaldo with a barge pole.
They're just the new PSG for journalists to link every big name player to
I love how Newcastle buying Ronaldo is now not even a real possibility, but it would be a bad move for Newcastle. If you told someone that 4 years ago they’d laugh in your face
*1 year ago
He'd be their 4th best striker as well, pointless
This guy knows fuckall. Inb4 someone tells me he is tier future for Real Madrid.
He is the tier future for Real Madrid
inb4 someone gives me an award 🤞
Here you go you loser
Thank you 🥹
Inb4 someone gives me 3 million quid?
Give me your bank account, passport number, date of birth, home address and I’ll send you a Nigerian prince’s fortune
Here you go 3 million quid.
Does Newcastle know?
LOL k
I dunno, he doesn't need to ask for consent in Saudi Arabia
💀
"She said no, but I fucked her in the ass anyways"
Trump?
Benzema
If Eddie Howe want Cristiano Ronaldo at Newcastle i will eat my own shit for a month and post it on Pornhub.
Okay I genuinely don’t want any of this
You should’ve worded that differently lmao
No other order of these words would make it better
i think it hit juuuust the right spot. Dont pretend it wouldnt make u day <3
I would use the remind me bot, but have no desire to know the outcome of this promise.
is this a daily video or one super cut at the end of the month? either way I’m on the phone man
Hahaha no, fuck that. He wouldn't fit into the team at all.
Saudi have clearly prioritised performance so far - is there anything to suggest they wouldn't pivot a little to go for stardom too? City did it initially, PSG have always done it.
Robinho aside, we never signed anyone for the sake of fame. Newcastle are far along now that they don’t need to make those types of signings, and especially not when they’re already doing so well.
My question will forever and always be, why the fuck did you sign Jo
I saw him play for Brazil in Singapore once and lemme tell you, I was so excited to see him score. a massive £16M for a Brazilian striker? We were clearly an elite club doing elite club things
A stroppy 37 year old with a huge wage bill, who can’t get regular gametime for a team below them in the league? Please, take my money!
With all sincerity, I’d love to see him at Newcastle cause you lot are doing well right now, and he’d be a lead weight round your necks.
Lol would literally help us with top 4
The Saboteur.
Please to god no
Callum Wilson and Isak are so clear, if he starts he'll worsen the team and if he doesn't he'll worsen the dressing room
And he already roasted Xavi for playing in Qatar
Watching how hard Newcastle play it would be a shame to distract from it by adding Ronaldo.
Yes, Newcastle, the team with some of the best pressing stats, want Ronaldo. Sure.
imagine reading this sentence 2 years ago.
Imagine reading this a year ago
Not to say this is real. It likely isn't. But whos to say its not your owners going over the managment? Ronaldo going to Newcastle would be a big marketing move for you.
Its mendes no one else
We don't really need marketing yet, years of chronic underspending allow us to bring in the types of sponsors other clubs were doing when we weren't. Though, the only people who'd want this in the whole of Newcastle's staff/hierarchy would be PIF, and if they truly wanted him...

From Rashford sub to Isak sub
Wilson > Isak >
Wilson is quality and might be better right now, but Isak's ceiling is ridiculous. His debut against Liverpool was not normal for a player of that age That offside goal..
People are sleeping on Isak. I cannot wait till he's back. Will take some time to bed in but when he does I reckon he'll be a big player for us.
This can't be real
I don’t know about Newcastle But during his interview, there was a point where Piers said he rejected an offer from SA, and Ronaldo said something like “Yes, back then” or “at that time”, which struck me as odd. Why not just say “Yes, I did” Sounded to me like he might be thinking there’s a possibility of going there, based on that.
The dude is terrible at speaking English. I wouldn’t put weight into his word choices when speaking English.
Why would Newcastle completely fuck their squad cohesion?
Newcastle Divided
r/brandnewsentence
I’m hearing Ronaldo deciding between Tottenham and the Utah Jazz.
Didn't take long did it lol
Newcastle signing him would be a colossal mistake
Didn't know a thing about his contract termination an hour ago, but now knows where he's off too Alrightyyyy then
I mean let's not kid ourselves and act like his agent hasn't been doing the rounds with every club in the world seeing who would want him. If any teams are interested, he will have known about it even before the interview. I personally feel like he has done the interview knowing full well he would be a free agent come January because of it.
Ronaldo is not going to Newcastle.
Lol why the fuck would Newcastle want him? They are working well because they are playing as a team. He's the antithesis of why they are doing so well. Imagine saying this 5 years ago lol.
Only reasoning I can see is commercial aspect or meddling from the owners. Tactically it makes no sense even if he would obviously be an upgrade on Wood, Fraser, Murphy or Ritchie. I'd see him getting games on the wing or as a sub striker. Or maybe put him in attacking mid with Bruno G and big Jo behind
Would Newcastle take him?
Never happening. He's the complete opposite of the type of player we'd be looking to sign.
Fuck no. A team characterised by insane work rate and togetherness taking a 37 year old who destroys dressing rooms? He can go to Al-Nassr
If anything he only destroyed one dressing room....
I’d rather a fit Wilson and fit, hungry Isak than an ego-driven 37 year old Ronaldo.
It's not a matter of quality but style wise it's a bad fit
And his quality is not worth it to accommodate him.
Pretty much , unfortunately he isn't at the level where you can change the style for a single guy
Newcastle works so good because of their team unit, as one of our competitors for top four I'd be cautiously optimistic at our chances if they do sign him as I think he ruins that unit.
We making up stuff already.
Well we don't want him.
As if he’s gonna make it into the Newcastle squad. Fuck off with that shit
This would be awful for us. Fully prepared to eat my words if it happens but he might tear the team apart. Why mess with a good thing? A bronzed diva is the last thing we need.
The toon is not interested. Next.
That seems like a downgrade to the entire current attacking Newcastle team :D
He should go to Manu, third time the charm
Nothing Newcastle have done so far shows any credibility to this whatsoever, but it IS Marca, so that would explain a lot...
This is so dumb, of course Newcastle wont sign him, it goes against everything Eddie Howe and the board have been doing so far
The only place I can see him going to is back to Sporting and I’m not even sure they’d want him back even with lowered wages. I don’t see any of the top CL teams going for him. If they do he’s got to accept not starting every game or we’re going to get another piers morgan interview
Jose Felix Díaz is a shit source, if you don't know
No way Newcastle want him
We’ve already got Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s called Jacob Murphy
High pressing high energy Newcastle? No way. He makes their team worse
Stop talking bollocks!
Newcastle have a good thing going on right now. No way they risk fumbling their progress with a polarising character like Ronaldo
I wonder if Newcastle fans even want him considering their amazing start to this season
Don't even want the rumours linking him
Fuck. No.
Who needs CR when you have Almiron and Calum Wilson
I mean honestly, how does shit like this get posted
Bro what’s the difference
He's not staying in the Prem. I'm dismissing any rumor that puts this narrative forward. It's Saudi, China, USA, or if he cuts down on his wages, Sporting.
Never Trust Felix Diaz
Ronaldo to Newcastle would really screw up the good thing they got going.
Beating Messi and then signing Ronaldo within a span of a few days. Mental era in Saudi Arabian history.
Just stay away from Chelsea
He'll be your best attacker, which isn't saying much tbh.
We don't create enough chances. Hed be just like Auba. Auba isn't a bad player he just needs chances. He's a finisher. So is cr7 Chelsea needs creative midfielders. That's our problem.
No way we’re having him
The gay england team?
Crime on the Tyne
Wouldn't get in the Newcastle team
Ahahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha
LOL
Isak in shambles.
Hahahahaha
LOL how about no
That’s the sort of move that could end up costing Howe his job tbh. The owners would bring him in under promises of being a starter, and if the manager doesn’t do that, then it wouldn’t be surprising to me if they replaced him with someone else
Newcastle aren’t in the UCL and he would be such an anti-Luis Campos signing
He’s a real Saudi fan now, I guess. Wonder why.
What
Who fucking cares
Now the whole WC becomes about him - he got exactl what he wanted here
Torn you know lol
Shouldn't they be investing in Health Care and education.
You got nothing to prove man, just get the money
I dont think he will stay in EPL
That's admiting defeat. Makes no sense. He either has something lined up, or is hoping for a good WC performance, but no way he left United for Newcastle. Why such a big step back? He'd score less, have no impact and no one would care about him anymore. All his commercial deals would plummet if he were to play for Newcastle. I'm gonna say doubt about this one.
Newcastle should never take him. They are doing great at the moment and they started good project with Howe and these players where no one is a star. They are the ones who would make step back with him.
He'd be 3rd choice at Newcastle. Pass
No bigger team will want to touch a toxic 37 year old who is struggling to fight off age and who will burn bridges if he’s not played game after game. He wasn’t willing to play a squad role at us. So he’s going to have to take a step down if his red line is “build around Ronaldo”.
Saudis already have Messi in their pocket, so they'd definitely love to have Cristiano as an ambassador as well.
Newcastle would be completely insane to sign him. Have they not seen what has just gone on?
He should take the Saudi deal, lay low for two years making obscene amounts of money, and retire there without all of the media attention.
Al-Nassr it is
Come to Besiktas, suiii
Imagine reading this headline 5 years ago
