Gonzalo Ramos, who actually replaced Cristiano Ronaldo at the very same World Cup for a game, and he scored, I believe, either two goals or a hat-trick in a game for Portugal, then got signed by PSG for, I want to say, 65 million.

For two years now, I watch him and I go, he's playing at a level that very few can. Especially when so much of the modern game is about those number sixes. You see what Declan Rice gets bought for. You see what Rodri would go for now if he was on the open market. I think City bought him for $50 million and that's an absolute steal now. Yeah.

Yeah, the Chelsea one was fascinating. I thought Betis for a half were going to do it. I really did. I thought that they were the better side in that first half. They were the better side probably for 60 minutes. I remember watching before Chelsea's first goal. I think I said out loud, this Chelsea team did not look at it today at all.
