Right, the topic for this week's quiz, Micah and Alan... is the most Portuguese appearances in the Premier League. So the players with the top 10 most appearances in the Premier League that are Portuguese. And the usual rules will apply. We'll do it until we get all 10 and the person with the most wins. And if it's a tie, we'll head down deep into the 11 to 20. So confident with this one. There's been a lot of Portuguese players in the Premier League over the years. gracing our league. Who wants to go first? Alan, you can decide today. I feel as though I always rush in, don't I? So you can go. I feel like I'm more confident with this one than others, but not super, super confident. There's a few obvious ones.
There are a few obvious ones. Yeah, there are. So you're going to go first, Alan. And your first pick?
Ooh, got to be Cristiano.
Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean, this is a bit surprising, really. No, I tease you. Yes, of course he's in. Cristiano Ronaldo with 236 appearances, which is quite a lot. And he's in third place. Oh, good. Nice. How many appearances was that, guys, please? Just let me know. 236. I mean, we've spoken about Cristiano many times. Obviously, when he played in the Premier League, he was very young. And then we started to see... Didn't we? The last couple of seasons, the monumental numbers that he was starting to produce in terms of scoring goals. I think it's safe to say he's had a reasonable career. Absolute machine. Playing against him was torture at times. going both ways. And he was going through that period though, where he started believing he was great.
And that is difficult because he's going through the step over, but now I can score. And now I'm that guy in the Premier League. And when a player's got that confidence with no fear, you're in trouble.
Amazing. I mean, what can you say about Cristiano that hasn't already been said? Just absolutely outstanding.
Yeah, one of the true greats. Right, over to you, Micah. I think it'd be quite easy for the first few and then might get a bit tricky. Big Meeks. Yes, I will go with Bernardo Silva. Yeah, go for it. Bernardo Silva, former team-mate. Did you cross paths? No, we didn't cross. Yeah, just missed him. You just missed him. Shame, really, but nice to play with. He seems like a lovely guy, doesn't he, as well? And when you talk to the City players, you can see there's a real affection for him. He is indeed actually, Micah, in first place.
