FREEDOM AT LAST?

Portuguese revolutionist & trophy rights leader, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, is on the verge of finally being released from the most grotesque, mentally challenging and insufferable Italian detention center, otherwise known as Juventus. After being sentenced there to 3 long & hard years with forced labor by Spanish Republicano Confederaciones Leader, Don General Florentino Pérez Rodríguez of the Royal Madrid Sovereign Association Army. The Portuguese hero has been granted amnesty & political immunity as he tends to spend the remainder of his years in Manchester. Where his revolution first started. Although the Red Devil English party are crying foul of his release because they see his move to the blue side of Manchester as a betrayal of trust. As they fear he might start another revolution against them, a well OILED revolution.

Spanish Ballerina Conquistador, Josep “Pep” Guardiola Sala, is said to be leading the call to freedom for the Portuguese trophy rights activist. In an attempt to finally bring home the coveted holy grail of world mastery football, the Liga de Campeones, to the Manchester Etihad Kingdom. I wish Ronaldo went to PSG instead.

City fumbled the ball with Messi, but they’re damn sure to not miss lightning striking twice with Ronaldo. How many teams get offered the chance to sign Messi AND ronaldo?
