Benzema and Vini Jr to stop this cyborg

Benzema,Vinicius Jr,Erling Haaland cartoon


Erling Haaland has been portrayed by many as a cyborg or machine due to his outstanding performance this season with Manchester City.

The team will now be facing the experienced Champions League holders, Real Madrid, in what promises to be an exciting match. The question is, will Benzema and Vini Jr be able to halt the unstoppable Haaland machine?

Rafael Leao vs Inter Milan

Rafael Leao cartoon

I have a fondness for reading about the heroic tales of ancient mythology, and in addition to my appreciation for classic American cartoons and pre-modern art, I attempt to incorporate those interests into my enjoyment of football.

The upcoming Champions League match between AC Milan's Rafael Leao, whose style of play resembles surfing, and Inter Milan, who are often depicted as a formidable serpent due to their club nickname, is something I am eagerly anticipating.

Rui Costa and Marco Materazzi

Rui Costa and Marco Materazzi cartoon

The iconic picture of Rui Costa and Materazzi together was actually taken during the UEFA Champions League semi-final match between AC Milan and Inter Milan in 2003.

In the second leg of the semi-final, which was held at the San Siro stadium, the match was tied at 1-1 in the 71st minute. Rui Costa, who was playing for AC Milan at the time, had possession of the ball when he collided with Marco Materazzi, who was playing for Inter Milan.

As the two players fell to the ground, Rui Costa was quick to help Materazzi back up to his feet. The moment was captured by photographers and has since become an iconic image of sportsmanship in football.

The picture symbolizes the idea that even in the midst of fierce competition, players can show respect and sportsmanship towards their opponents. It has become a reminder of the true spirit of football, where the game is not just about winning or losing, but also about the mutual respect between players and teams.

Real Madrid in Spain and in Europe


This thing makes me wonder a lot. Real Madrid performance in the Champions League is so different from their performance in the Liga.
In Europe nobody can beat them while in Spain they are struggling.

The horror of Real Madrid that scares Salah and Klopp


Both of Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp and forward Mo Salah have a scary experience with Real Madrid during their spell with Liverpool.
We can't forget the 2018 Champions League final that ended 3-1 to Real Madrid, Ramos harshly injured Salah, and both Benzema and Bale shared the goals.
The final happened again in 2022, and it ended 1-0 for the Merengues. Vini Jr scored the goal back then. Finally the 5-2 big lose that happened in Anfield was the last of the horror scene.

Marco Materazzi

Marco Materazzi cartoon

Marco Materazzi is a former professional football player from Italy who is perhaps best known for his controversial clash with French football legend Zinedine Zidane during the 2006 FIFA World Cup final.

Materazzi was born on August 19, 1973, in Lecce, Italy, and began his professional football career with his hometown club, Lecce, in 1991. He went on to play for several other Italian clubs, including Perugia and Inter Milan over the course of his career, as well as for the Italian national team.

Materazzi was known for his tough and physical style of play, as well as his ability to score goals from set pieces. He was also known for his controversial behavior on the pitch, including his habit of provoking opponents with verbal taunts.

Despite the controversy surrounding the incident with Zidane, Italy went on to win the World Cup, with Materazzi playing a key role in the team's success. He retired from professional football in 2014, having won numerous domestic and international titles throughout his career, most importantly the Treble with Inter Milan in 2010.

My friend Waheed Almasri met him in Dubai and offered him my cartoon.
