“Playing with Ronaldo Is the Proudest Moment of My Career” – Dalot Says
Portuguese footballer Diogo Dalot has shared how he found out about Cristiano Ronaldo’s sensational return to Manchester United. Dalot, who considers Ronaldo his hero, revealed that playing alongside the legendary forward remains the proudest achievement of his career.
Dalot and Ronaldo were teammates at Manchester United for a season and a half, starting in the summer of 2021 when Ronaldo made his highly anticipated comeback to Old Trafford.
This marked his second spell with the club, after initially making a name for himself there between 2003 and 2009 before moving to Real Madrid.
Recalling how he learned of Ronaldo’s return, Dalot, now 25, said the news came directly from the man himself.
“We spoke during national team duties, and he told me he was coming back to Manchester United. He was excited about it,” Dalot said.
He added that he had first met Ronaldo during the 2020 UEFA European Championship and, by coincidence, they became club teammates just two months later.
Reflecting on the experience of sharing the pitch with one of football’s all-time greats, Dalot described it as both surreal and inspiring.
“It’s a bit intimidating at first because you don’t want to risk being disappointed when you meet your idols,” he admitted.
“But with Ronaldo, it was the opposite. He exceeded my expectations.
He’s not only an incredible footballer but also a fantastic human being.”
Dalot went on to emphasize how much the experience meant to him.
“To me, playing alongside Ronaldo is probably the highlight of my career so far. It’s something I’ll always cherish.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
