Apparently Ronaldo managed 30 touches vs PSG of which 10 were shots

You sure it wasn't 30 shots from 10 touches?

Anyone up for a quick "Who am I?"

Easy one today.

Mr. Ronaldo, you had great boots. You were a genius. You were my inspiration. But I am a Neapolitan, and so I have to say that there is only one king, and his name is Diego.

quite a long read but a nice interview with Lorenzinho

https://www.theplayerstribune.com/lorenzo-insigne-even-god-loves-napoli/
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Picture Roberto Benigni and the kid from La Vita e Bella as Signor Insigne and Lorenzino.


In the opening scene, Mr Insigne is pictured talking to a kind-looking, grandfatherly-like shopkeeper. He gestures over to the clock on the wall behind the shopkeeper, who glances round and then nods a nonchalant "Yeah, why not?" in agreement.

In the following scene Mr. Insigne is pictured walking down cobbled streets with an excited Lorenzino hopping and skipping around him endlessly babbling to his amused dad.

They walk into a shop. Mr Insigne leans over the counter slightly and softly says something to a fat, pinafored mustachioed shopkeeper, who erupts with laughter. Drying his eyes out, he asks if they'd also like Maradona himself to serve them.

The expression on Lorenzino's face turns from joy and excitement, to bewilderment and then alarm as the shopkeeper shakes his head.

They leave the shop, and a succession of brief visits to three other shops follows, their walls all lined with figurines and pictures of virgins and saints alongside all kinds of Napoli-themed football memorabilia.

All the shopkeepers shake their heads. Impossible. Sold out.

But hold on, the middle one actually produces a pair. Wild excitement is briefly rekindled - the look of expectation on a tip-toeing Lorenzo's face giving way to one of crucshing disappointment. Wrong size.

But it's about enough to keep a glimmer of hope alive.

A factory siren sounds, and a disorderly, tired line of workers begins to march out. Similar scenes at the port, where a coouple of the men stop to unpadlock their bikes before setting off home.

Past them walk Lorenzo and his dad, who can be seen urging an increasingly disheartened child along.

The whole city's closing down.

A grocer can be seen carrying a box of oranges back inside. A few yards down, a fishmonger pulls down the shutter on his shop.

Past them both walk Lorenzino and his dad.

Through ever quieter streets, Lorenzino by now is two or three steps behind his dad, sadly kicking a stone along. His dad tries to egg him on, but to little effect. Head and eyes downcast, Lorenizino drags his feet between each kick, almost going through the motions of a dying, far-away dream of football.

One last try. The shopkeeper from the opening scene is shown standing outside his shop. He glances at his pocket-watch and seems to be looking out for someone. He turns to lock the door, but a sudden voice catches his attention.

"Eh, Gennaro!" waves Signor Insigne.

The shopkeeper pulls out his pocket-watch and directs a scaldingly look at Mr Insigne and taps the watch's glass with his index finger.

Lorenzo's dad shrugs, smiles apologetically cocking his head in the direction of his son, and the two men exchange a complicit look as they walk into the shop.

A couple of phrases are exchanged the counter. "...THE boots?? Sorry kid, you'd stand a better chance of seeing La Madonna ride past on a donkey. "

Lorenzino's tugging at his dad's jacket. "It's no use, Papa, let's go home."

"Ma! Un istante..." The shopkeeper remembers something. A pile of unopened boxes are stacked on a small delivery cart in a corner behind the counter. "Unless the afternoon delivery..."

A stream of light seems to stream out of the box, its contents concealed to all but the shopkeeper. Bobbing on his toes, Lorenzino anxiously jogs his head from side to side trying to get a view.

"What size...?" The shopkeeper slowly lifts a boot out of the box, delicately, almost as if he were handling a religious relic. "Giusto!"

"Come on Lorenzo, time!" shouts a sudden voice.

The scene sharply switches to a full-grown, kit-clad Lorenzo as snaps out of a daydream. Suddenly realising he's sitting in a dressing room, he quickly jumps up and sprints for the door.

In the final scene, L's running out of the depths of the San Paolo with the rest of the team. A huge roar goes round the stadium, which is packed to the rafters, confetti and toilet paper streaming down as if in a Buenos Aires derby.

Off screen, a TV commentator's voice tell us it's the last day of the season, and the title's at stake.

The picture fades as they're running onto the pitch, the scene hanging just about long enough to allow a glimpse of their opponents, who are already out warming up in their familiar black and white striped kit.


I'm at odds as to whether to end it there or add an optional ending:

Just as the credits start rolling, a roar goes up in the crowd and a commentator's voice can is heard screaming "Goooool, goooool, goooooooooooooool, what a volley by Insigne, Napoli secure the Scudetto......"

The roar gives fades and a particularly jolly version of "Funiculì, Funiculà" accompanies the rest of the credits.

(In the Juve version, VAR is called upon and the goal is ruled out.)

i think their performance was much better than the idiot BT sport commentators suggested

Their finishing was woeful though

For Man U 0-0 is not such a good result

A score draw for Sevilla at Old Trafford is not a impossible scoreline for them
