Karagounis Says He Would Love to See Ronaldo Play for Panathinaikos After Leaving Al-Nassr
Former Greek footballer Georgios Karagounis has expressed his desire to see Cristiano Ronaldo play for Panathinaikos once his time at Al-Nassr comes to an end. Ronaldo, whose contract with the Saudi club is set to expire at the end of the season, has yet to agree to a renewal.
In a chat with Spin Genie, Karagounis shared his thoughts. He said, while he isn’t sure Ronaldo would ever play for Wrexham, he would love to see him in Greece with Panathinaikos. He described the club as a big name in Greek football. And he pointed out that Ronaldo has already worn green before with Sporting CP, so a move to Panathinaikos wouldn’t be far-fetched.
Karagounis believes Ronaldo’s fame would match well with the stature of Panathinaikos, and though the future remains uncertain, he’s hopeful the football legend could one day turn out for the Greek side.
Now 40, Ronaldo is nearing the end of a decorated career that has seen him represent clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Sporting CP. Whether he ends up in Greece or somewhere else remains to be seen.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
