This Tuesday morning, we could read a rather surprising information, presented as a “Bombshell” on the Catalan media site Mundo Deportivo. Except that this information is not! Explanations.
Cristiano Ronaldo at FC Barcelona? The information went around the world in a few hours. It must be said that this morning the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo dropped a “little bomb” by indicating that the Portuguese clan was in negotiations with Joan Laporta for an arrival at Barça.
Continuing, the media even announced that the five-fold Golden Ball saw no harm in playing in the Europa League and becoming… CR17. Even bigger, Pique would have contacted Lionel Messi to lend his villa in Barcelona to the Portuguese. “Ronaldo would be fascinated by the idea of playing the Europa League to win a trophy that is missing from his trophy cabinet and would take the number 17 jersey, left vacant by Luuk de Jong, ready to become CR17”, could we read there. Difficult to swallow of course.
In reality, the date of December 28 is not trivial in Spain. It is neither more nor less than the equivalent of April 1 elsewhere in the world. In short, the “info” is therefore in clear what is commonly called an “April Fool”. Even the very serious Corrierre dello Sport in Italy fell for it.
