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.

Virgil van Dijk vs Nemanja Vidić


Who is better as a defender? Liverpool Virgil van Dijk or Manchester United Nemanja Vidic?
What I read is that van Dijk is better in attack, he scored and assisted more goals, while Vidic is better in aerial duels. 

Roberto Carlos free kick



When it comes to free kicks, Roberto Carlos was in a league of his own. 🔥 Rewind to 1997 when he stunned the world with his impossible curler against France, where he kicked the ball from a distance of 41 meters, with a speed of 136km/h and an impressive curve that went around the entire defense.
