Rafael Leão's crazy response to why he took Ronaldo's number 7! 😭☠️
Who wears the seven when Cristiano Ronaldo is not there? BallBlitz, a clips channel that bills itself as stories, moments and madness from the beautiful game, spent most of its week on that question and the storm around it. Rafael Leão's response to taking the shirt is the week's most watched upload, past a million views a couple of days after it went up.
The comment section has turned into a rules seminar. Many viewers point out that Nations League squads have to be numbered one to 23 with no gaps, so somebody had to wear the seven. Others keep bringing up Diogo Dalot as another player who stayed close to Ronaldo, and a fair number admit they skipped Portugal against Denmark altogether.
Around it, the uploads read like chapters of one saga: players and legends who defended Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos in the title of another, a best friend taking aim at the Portugal manager, and a fresh one on every coach the title blames for ending his career. The fastest mover right now steps outside it, though: Gianluigi Donnarumma on a home debut that, the title says, nearly made Zinedine Zidane cry.
All of it roughly doubled the channel's usual daily pace. Among football channels near its size, only Proballerf drew more views across the week, while Augeyboyz ran quieter than usual.
