Raphinha plays Baseball?? No higher performing winger than that Brazillian this season, truth be told. Except Salah.

Salah and Raphinha lead the way in 24/25.

Dembele might just get the ballon d’or though

Not true sir. His friend, Chinese Ogbuke Obasi also did same. Believe it or not, Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze also did. Same with Taiwo Awoniyi and our beloved Kelechi Nwakali.

Osimhen never. Played u20

A certain akintunde alani made his debut for real valladolid in lalliga.
It seems he is very good.
Could have been part of u20 but he fell illness so.
One to watch for the future

Yes he has a chance. But he's been a CF for most parts of the season compared to Salah and Raphinha who featured as wing forwards in 433 formations. Dembouz has mostly played CF in PSG's 433.

Did you know John Mikel Obi is the only player to have represented Nigeria at all national levels of the national team:-

Under 17 (Golden Eagles)
Under 20 (Flying Eagles)
Under 23 (Olympic team)
Senior team (Super Eagles)

Chelsea and Nigerian legend 🇳🇬🦅💙

... at "major tournaments" you mean

But if you refer to making appearances of any sort then, Nwakali, Osimhen and Chukwueze also get mentions.

Wasn't he part of Amunike's team that lost out in the qualifiers?

But at least Obasi and Awoniyi did.

Taiwo Awoniyi, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze also played at all levels.
Mikel is just the only player that featured at the World stage for all the competitions.

Osimhen was in that Amuneke's U20 Team. Infact he scored the own-goal that gave Sudan a 3:2 win in Port-harcourt.

His friend Chinedu Ogbuke also have featured in all world competitions.
Finland 2003 U-17
Holland 2005 U-20
Beijing Olympics 2008 U-23
South Africa 2010 senior world cup.

Ogbuke's representation was the more proper progression.
Mikel's own was affected by his club refusal to release him for 2008 Olympics and injury in 2010 WC.
Only played for U-23 Olympics as an over age player

So he is responsible for us not having a chance of qualifying.
Thank you sir!!!

The bolded is a lie

Yamal doesn’t compete for air balls ⚽️ even the ones he can win easily not to mention defend

Either you don't watch Yamal or you just want to deceive yourself...

Since you don't watch him, I'll give you numbers

Below is Osimhen vs Yamal's defensive attribute numbers, Yamal in green and Osimhen in blue - while Osimhen defends well also, Yamal has a defensive rating of 38 against Osimhen's 30, make you know say no be play play.

Check his defensive statistics this season, are you seeing how many balls recovered per game and tackles per game? Are you seeing how many possession won per game?

He has 39 blocked shots in the La Liga, 5 in the Copa del Rey and 14 blocked shots in the Champions League... He has 59 total blocked shots in 34 matches this season. Make una dey calm down watch ball well before una argue...

Osimhen and Chukwueze could potentially be Cup Champions today in Turkey and Italy respectively.

Osimhen is already close to sealing his. Even scored the second goal of the final as Gala lesds Nwakaeme's Trabzonspor 2-0.

How is Nwakaeme performing? One of our most underrated players.

Why would the coach do this nonsense 😕
