The Women’s World Cup has already begun with a bang, and among the talented athletes competing, one Argentine star, Yamila Rodriguez, has caught the attention of fans and spectators alike.
Rodriguez made headlines not only for her skills on the field but also for her choice of tattoos proudly displayed during Argentina’s opening game against Italy.
As Rodriguez stepped onto the pitch as a second-half substitute, eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted the striking tattoos adorning her leg.
To the surprise of many, she proudly bore not one, but two legendary players’ faces permanently etched onto her skin – Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Maradona, the iconic Argentine footballer, is celebrated for his illustrious career and his profound impact on the sport.
Rodriguez’s tattoo of Maradona pays homage to the time he spent at Boca Juniors, a renowned Argentine club where she previously played before joining Brazilian side Palmeiras.
However, it was her tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary Portuguese forward, that raised eyebrows and sparked debates among fans.
Ronaldo’s legacy is undeniable, with numerous accolades and records under his belt, and Rodriguez’s decision to display his likeness hints at her favoritism in the never-ending “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) debate, which often pits Ronaldo against his long-time rival, Lionel Messi.
