Very strong achievement girl, keep it up. Number 4 in the world is not a walk in the pack.
They fail to give osimhen the men’s best player of the year award because he is a Nigerian.. if he was a white or from another country he would have won it. And not the dembele guy…I mean this guy scored 34 goals or so for galatesary last season with 7 assist…..he is earning 400k per week…the only player after only mbappe and Kane in Europe. He even won the Turkish league and cup last season
Yes o!
