"My love" - wrote Ronaldo.
Thanks to the surge in interest in her page on the social network, Georgina managed to overcome the milestone of 20 million subscribers. But she is still far from the Juventus striker.

Maguire was taken to the police for a fight in Greece
Another famous football player got into a scandalous situation on vacation. Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was detained for a fight in a bar on the Greek island of Mykonos. According to local press reports, the 27-year-old defender and friends had a falling out with a group of Albanian men. When the police arrived at the scene, the athlete tried to find out the relationship with them.
In addition to Maguire, two of his friends were taken to the station. Moreover, according to media reports, all the way to the police station and directly on the spot, the guests from the UK continued to insult and provoke the law enforcement officers.
The rest of the night, the captain of MJ spent at the station. In the end, the player was released on bail.
According to another version, Maguire's outrage was well founded. According to a British tabloid, a criminal-looking Albanian businessman tried to get to know the footballer's sister Daisy. After the girl rejected the courtesies, she was wounded in the arm. After that, Maguire intervened in the conflict.
Maguire returned to the UK, but this did not save him from punishment. As a result of the court hearing, which took place on August 25, the football player was sentenced to 21 months and 10 days in prison on probation. The other two defendants received a suspended sentence of 13 months.

Sinisa Mikhailovic, a famous free-kick master and now the mentor of Bologna, was infected with COVID-19. The 51-year-old Serb is asymptomatic, but he will spend two weeks in isolation under medical supervision. His assistants will have to prepare the team for the start of the season.
The state of health of a specialist is of increased concern, as his body is weakened by several courses of chemotherapy in the fight against leukemia.

Despite this, a month ago, the city authorities awarded Mikhailovich the title of honorary citizen of Bologna. According to civic activist Gianmarco De Bias, who expressed a common position, the football coach is an example of strong motivation, and much thanks to him, they found the energy and strength to fight the disease.
Banega made fun of Conte's hairstyle
During the recent Europa League final, there was an incident with another Serie A coach, Antonio Conte. After one of Inter's players fell in the penalty area of Sevilla, the Milan club's bench was too emotionally appealing to the referee, demanding a penalty. The behavior of the rivals did not like the midfielder of the Spanish team Ever Banega.
He went up to Conte and said: “Listen, is your wig real? Let me have a look".
In response, the mentor, who lost his temper, offered to meet after the match to sort things out like a man. The referee of the meeting Danny McKeley punished the specialist with a yellow card.
Things got HEATED between Ever Banega and Antonio Conte 😳
The Sevilla player appeared to make fun of Conte's hair ...
Conte said "I'll see you after the game!" 👀 # Club2020pic.twitter.com / PxAdcssGZa
By the mid-2000s, Conte had undergone three hair transplants. The return of his thick hair cost him more than € 30 thousand. The Italian's fear of walking with a bald head has long become a reason for ridicule among fans and some colleagues. This topic was regularly returned to if it was necessary to annoy Antonio.
Torino fans once sent a banner to Juventus: “You are like Conte's hair. Fake!"
In turn, the Fiorentina ultras chanted: "Conte is losing hair, Conte is wearing a wig!" - waving wigs. Even colleagues, Marco Materazzi and Jose Mourinho, ridiculed the specialist's hairstyle.
For Conte, this August turned out to be truly "black". In addition to losing to Sevilla and rumors of resignation from Inter, the Italian was deceived by scammers. Earlier, he invested € 30.6 million in the project of the financier Massimo Bochicchio and hoped to increase his capital. As it turned out, the crooks forged documents and used a fake email address. In addition to Conte, seven people were deceived.

“The tower is standing and we decided to time the jump to the National Flag Day, jumped at dawn - we recorded a video. Dedicated to today's holiday, ”the athlete explained.
