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.
