I had to check that. Turns out that the only thing he won other than those 2 CLs is a Super Cup. That has to be a unique trophy collection!
Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
ahah that's mental
Juan Roman Riquelme spent more time playing for Boca than he did for Villareal. 4 years at Villareal and 8 at Boca (i'm only counting his time at Boca after villareal, otherwise its 14 years in total!). Always assumed that he played the majority of his career in spain before returning to boca for a couple of years to retire.
Juan Mata was the first player ever to join United from Chelsea.
Not true - look up Ray Wilkins
Alex Stepney before him. (and he wasn't even the first)
I'm guessing he means the PL era when football really began

Hmmm. You're probably right. Must have imagined all those games I watched.
Juan Mata was the first Spanish player to join United from Chelsea
Juan Mata was the first person called one Juan Mata to play for United
Juan Mata was the first person from Burgos to play for Manchester United

Same here, first time I saw United play live Alex Stepney would have been in goal!
My first United match live was the season before he joined and Harry Gregg was in goal. We lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and have hated Chelsea ever since.
VS QPR in 76, Gordon Hill and Sammy Mac scored was my first league game
Just leaving this one here….
Such a Lukaku stat, Imagine him at Sevilla
Romelu Lukaku scored in his 14th consecutive Europa League game as Roma beat Czech side Slavia Prague 2-0.

That is insane!
90 years, 3 players…… although I think matthews played into his 50s?

There have never been three straight red cards in a first half of the Bundesliga, until today
Has there ever been a 8-0 in the second half?
What happened, is that why your lot scored 8 goals in the second half?
Yeah, but the first of them was for us. All of them were for stopping clear goal scoring chances by the last man.
Crazy game!
If the current Man United manager wins his next game in charge, he will be the fastest manager to 50 wins in the clubs history.
Anthony Martial has scored just ONE PL goal this season. ONE MORE that Ramus Hoiljand.
I've just seen this on social media today. Apparently Marcus Rashford has failed to score in 100 of his last 140 games.
Since 2020 Rashford has scored 4 goals away from home when he's started. 2 at the Emirates, 1 at Tottenham and 1 at Leeds.
Pepe scored in the Champions League this week.
Wow. Who for?
FC Porto
How old is he these days, 38, 39?
40 already
That is insane crazy.
This is Anthony Martial's 9th season as a United player.
Testimonial next year so?
I don't know what you're saying there to be honest.
I didn't think it had been that long more like 6 or 7. Players who have been at clubs as long as he has are usually much loved, huge fan favourites approaching legendary status. He's nowhere near that, never even properly established himself and hasn't deserved to be here as long as he has. It shouldn't be true.
He was being sarcastic
I thought he might have been but I couldn't even comprehend what he was saying.
Strange fact. This absolute banger only got to number 64 in the charts. Should of been at least top ten.
Correct, I was being sarcastic. I don't even know if testimonials are a thing anymore considering what footballers earn, but the thought of Martial getting one is farcical!
I think it's an Irish thing to put 'so' at the end of sentences where others might use 'then'. That would make: 'Testimonial next year then?'
But of course now @Oscar Bonavena will tell us to have never even been to Ireland.
