Argentine legend, Batistuta hurt by Messi’s new goalscoring record.

Lionel Messi scored and recorded two assists as Argentina routed the United States 4-0 in the Copa America semi-final. The Barcelona forward who eclipsed ex Argentina international, Gabriel Batistuta’s 54 goals is now Argentina’s all-time highest goalscorer with 55 goals. Batistuta has however admitted he’s a bit hurt by Messi’s new feat.
“I came to be the highest goalscorer of all time without even realising. One day I woke up and I heard I had scored more than Maradona. It wasn’t a goal I set for myself. It wasn’t an objective or an obsession, because I never cared about statistics. How could it not hurt me to see that record be broken? It is going to hurt when Messi breaks my record, but we are not talking about being beaten by any terrestrial being,” the 47-year-old stated.

Angry Cristiano Ronaldo throws reporter's microphone into the lake.


Ahead of Portugal’s match with Hungary at Euro 2016, the Portugal squad took a morning stroll in the gardens of their hotel complex, and a reporter approached Cristiano Ronaldo to ask him if he was ready for tonight’s game. The influential footballer grabbed the reporter’s microphone and threw it inside the lake.
The reporter didn’t go overboard with the question but before you pick the gavel, there’s more to the story.

Ronaldo and the media house the reporter works for, CMTV to be precise have a long-standing feud. According to reliable sources, the TV station wrote a lot of slanderous reports about him and his family so much that he sued them and won the case. In 2014, the Real Madrid talisman refused to answer a question from a CMTV journalist in a post match conference.

But the truth is that wasn’t a proper conduct. Whatever happened to ignoring the journalist?
