Stephanie Roche has been on Irish TV joking about that photo with Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi

Irish women's footballer Stephanie Roche may not have won the Puskas Award at the recent Ballon d'Or ceremony, but she certainly turned a few big heads.

As per the Journal.ie (h/t Eurosport):
Stephanie Roche Said:

" There might have been something on the ground that caught their eye. My friends texted me after the awards and said ‘don’t be too disappointed because you had two of the best footballers in the world eyeing you up’. That is something to take from it. I got their attention a little bit maybe."

Carlo Ancelotti talks about Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona to join Real Madrid

 Carlo Ancelotti was asked about a potential move for Messi in his Wednesday presser.

                                                                 Ancelotti told reporters:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp3rhRC58V0

[Would Real like Messi?] I believe so yes,. Although you must bear in mind that Cristiano is the emblem of Real Madrid, and Messi of Barcelona.

Each one has their own team and their own history, but to have both in the same team would be a great thing for us. It is, however, difficult to think it is going to change.

Fernando 9 Torres scored after just 45 seconds for Atlético de Madrid at the Bernabéu. Update: He's scored 33 seconds into the second half!

Only moments after Cristiano Ronaldo was hailed as the best player on the planet for his Ballon d'Or win at the Bernabeu, perhaps the most ridiculed player on the planet struck.

A day after winning the FIFA Ballon d’Or award video emerged of Cristiano Jr. shearing moment with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Jr. showed up to an interview Dad was giving with the official Portugal national team channel wearing a Superman costume. Little Ronaldo is already adorable, but when he shows up in a Superman costume, it totally crashed the interview.

There was a touching moment between Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi on Monday—Ronaldo urged Cristiano Jr. to go say hello to Messi then Ronaldo then tells Messi his son loves watching Messi's videos on the Internet.

Cristiano Ronaldo urges his son ., who also joined him at the podium after Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, to go say hello to Messi. 

Messi says hello and asks Ronaldo's son how he's doing, while Ronaldo shouts toward Messi, "He watched a video on the Internet about us and he talks about you," then implores his son, "Don't be embarrassed now!" 

Regardless of whether the two always-talked-about rivals actually do like each other, it was a classy moment shared between them and little Ronaldo.

Nike Unveil Diamond-Studded Boots to Celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo

Not long after the win was announced, Nike unveiled a new pair of boots, the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold. 

As per Nike's Website: 

The micro-diamonds are remnants from larger stones that are painstakingly perfected by craftsmen. As the diamonds are refined and the details sharpened, tiny pieces are cut away, leaving micro-diamonds behind as evidence of work in progress. 

The commitment to keep chipping away at something already impressive reminded Nike’s design team of Ronaldo’s work ethic. While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement.
