'So you need to win the Champions League?' - Franck Ribery takes aim at Cristiano Ronaldo, alludes to 2013 Ballon d'Or result
Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery were in the top 3 of the 2013 Ballon d'Or votes (Images via X/@Cristiano & eurosport) Legendary French forward and former Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery took shots at Portuguese skipper Cristiano Ronaldo as the latter made a comment on who he thinks should win the 2025 Ballon d'Or. In a press conference ahead of the UEFA Nations League final, Ronaldo expressed his opinion that the individual honour should be handed to a player whose team participated in the UEFA Champions League final. Ronaldo's comments were in response to a question that sought to elicit the veteran's take on who should win the Ballon d'Or between FC Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele. Another frontrunner for the award is Barcelona forward Raphinha, who also leads the tally in goal contributions across Europe's top five leagues. However, Ronaldo's comment was enough to provoke Ribery into a heated reaction, as the Frenchman took to Instagram. "So you NEED to win the Champions League to win the Ballon d'Or?", wrote the 42-year-old on his Instagram story. Franck Ribery's Instagram story following Ronaldo's comments (Image via Instagram/@franckribery7) His reaction alludes to the fact that he missed out on the same award despite being part of a Bayern Munich squad that won the treble. In the title-winning campaign, Ribery led the charge alongside Arjen Robben and Mario Mandzukic. Despite a brilliant season, Ribery saw Ronaldo lift the Ballon d'Or after voting for the same was extended. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Poll Should winning the UEFA Champions League be a requirement for winning the Ballon d'Or?

‘Who is he?': Pics of mystery man chilling with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in swimming pool make her fans go wild after she removes YMC tattoo
Whispers surrounding Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru have gradually gained momentum, creating a quiet storm of speculation online. While neither of them has issued a statement or hinted directly at any romantic involvement, fans continue to draw their own conclusions from seemingly subtle cues, piecing together bits of evidence in search of a hidden narrative. The current chatter stems from a recent series of vacation photos that Samantha posted on social media. The actress is presently enjoying a serene escape at the opulent Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort in Abu Dhabi. Among the sun-soaked snapshots, one image especially caught the attention of her followers. Posing gracefully in a black bikini while relaxing in a swimming pool, she looked effortlessly radiant. But what really ignited online speculation was a reflection seen in her sunglasses—some observers believe it revealed the faint image of a man, and they were quick to claim the figure resembled Raj Nidimoru. Another striking moment in her photo series featured Samantha in the desert, observing the night sky through a large telescope. The minimalist look she embraced—no visible makeup and her hair pulled back—gave fans a glimpse into her relaxed and natural side. Along with these pictures, Samantha shared a brief caption suggesting a hopeful and dreamy mindset, further fueling curiosity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 모공각화증 '이렇게' 했더니...(실제 후기) 사과별 더 알아보기 Undo As expected, the internet wasted no time dissecting the images. Some users pointed out what they saw as visual clues, like the apparent presence of Raj reflected in her eyewear. Comments rolled in with questions like 'Isn't that Raj in the reflection?' and 'Who's that man capturing her photo in the fourth slide?' These remarks added fuel to the speculative fire, creating a buzz across fan communities. Samantha appears to be embracing joy and calm in her life again, judging by her frequent updates and warm expressions. On May 14, 2025, she posted a pair of photos with Raj Nidimoru at a movie theatre, standing together with a poster of their collaborative project displayed in the background. What really stood out to fans was the tenderness in her eyes—many interpreted it as a sign of affection, further intensifying the speculation about their relationship. Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. Recently, some observant fans noticed the absence of a significant tattoo in one of her pictures. The tattoo, which once read "Yeh Maaya Chesave" in reference to her debut film and also featured her former husband, was nowhere to be seen. This disappearance led some to believe she was signaling a fresh chapter in her life, distancing herself from the past. Raj Nidimoru, who forms one-half of the filmmaker duo Raj & DK, has worked closely with Samantha on major productions like The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny, strengthening their professional rapport—and possibly more.
