Benfica edged Alverca 2-1 in Primeira Liga matchday 21, with Andreas Schjelderup opening the scoring, Lucas Figueiredo equalizing before halftime, and Vangelis Pavlidis' goal ruled out by VAR for handball before Cabral's 86th-minute header sealed it.

A popular post compared four massive transfers—Neymar's €222 million shift to PSG in 2017, Hazard's €115 million flop at Real Madrid in 2019, Ronaldo's 2018 Juventus switch, and Messi's 2021 free move to PSG—asking which was the worst. Ronaldo's decision topped the list for many, as he left Madrid's dynasty at age 33, delivered two Scudettos and 81 Serie A goals but saw Juventus exit early in Europe three straight years. Hazard's injury-plagued run yielded just 7 goals in 76 games, Neymar managed 118 goals over six years without Champions League success, and Messi added two titles despite PSG's European struggles. Fans often spare Messi due to Barcelona's financial woes, while nostalgia lingers for Ronaldo's unreal 2011/12 Madrid season of 60 goals.

Key Takeaway

Ronaldo's 2018 move from Real Madrid to Juventus still haunts fans, trading Champions League triumphs for a Serie A stint that ended in disappointment.

On December 8, JvniorLive posted that Jesus never said he was God, prompting Christians to cite verses such as John 8:58 and John 20:28 as evidence of his divinity. Muslims countered by viewing Jesus as a prophet, not divine, and emphasized Islam's monotheism tracing back to Adam. The exchanges also touched on Hinduism's fringe links to Christianity and deep scriptural divides, with no clear resolution amid clashing interpretations of ancient texts.

Key Takeaway

A simple denial that Jesus ever called himself God drew quick replies from many Christians. They pointed to passages like 'I and the Father are one' from John 10:30 to make their case.
