Portuguese Starlet Who Snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo For Lionel Messi’s Idol Breaks Remarkable CR7 Record at World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are undeniably the greatest soccer players of our generation. Their record-breaking exploits in the last decade have surmounted a steep benchmark for the upcoming generation of players. There’s no wonder majority of the new-gen players consider them their idol.

But this Portuguese starlet is different. The 20-year-old recently raised eyebrows when she said she isn’t a big fan of either Cr7 or Leo Messi. However, she walked the talk last night with her impressive performance which broke one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s most impressive records!

20-year-old Francisca “Kika” Nazareth scored the second goal which etched her name in the record books. Before her, Cristiano Ronaldo held the record for being the youngest Portuguese to score at the FIFA World Cup.

Eerily, just like Francisca; Ronaldo had also scored the second goal of the match to break the record. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was 21 years and 132 days old when he held the record which is now broken by Kika.

Kika denies ever being ‘madly in love’ with the ‘GOAT’s’ Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi

It’s very hard to find a soccer star from today’s generation who is not a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi. What’s even more hard to find is a Portuguese who is not madly in love with Cr7. But there are exceptions and Kika is one. When quipped about her idol in a recent interview, Kika said, “I was never madly in love with Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.”

The Portuguese starlet was then quipped who is her idol, to which she gave a very surprising reply. She said Argentinian legend Aimar is her idol. “I’m talking about Aimar. Aimar is a genius. It’s number 10. Maybe he had thinner legs than mine, and he did what he did. He solved games. He saw things that nobody else saw, and I think that’s really beautiful,” justified Kika.

Kudos to Kika for not conforming to populist notions and being bold enough to speak her mind. She might get a few trolls from both the fanbases but she will also earn respect for being real. Truly impressive!
