Lewandowski to Blackburn? Did you know that the latest Ballon d’Or runner-up and European Golden Shoe winner nearly played for Blackburn Rovers? And no, we’re not talking just usual transfer rumours, the deal was actually very close to being finalized.
His flight was already arranged to go see Big Sam, Blackburn’s manager at the time, in Lancashire. Bear in mind that Lewandowski was not yet a global superstar at the time. He was playing for Lech Poznan, a club in a not very popular Polish league. So, he was surely not bigger than a move to Blackburn.
Meanwhile, the highest goalscorer in the history of the Champions League is out of this world. Everybody knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is not of this planet. And guess what! Astronomers just went ahead and confirmed that for us.
Dr David Sorbal, along with a couple of other astronomers, some time in 2015, discovered a galaxy which, according to them, had existed for about 13 billion years. They named that galaxy CR7 and admitted that it was inspired by the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner.
It maybe explains a little that Dr Sorbal is Portuguese. Cristiano is probably his idol and that was his way of honouring him. Well, it is Cristiano’s galaxy; we’re all just living in it.
