Mi primera columna en @elespectador.com del año Cristiano Ronaldo seguramente llegará a 1.000 en partidos oficiales antes de retirarse. Messi igual. A Pelé, en partidos oficiales, ya ambos lo superaron. Pero no. Pelé sí anotó más de 1.000 goles, válidos. golyfutbol.com/post/2026/01...

ROSES is always a good way to end the week. Here is my ROSES talk with Tibi and Mark.
