WON’T GET COLLARED
Jordan Henderson has revealed he refused to ask for Lionel Messi’s shirt during last season’s Champions League semi-final… because Roy Keane told him it’s a sign of weakness.
Liverpool were 3-0 down after the first leg but won the second leg at Anfield 4-0 in a staggering comeback.
The Anfield captain said: “Did I think about asking for his shirt?
“No. I’ve never done it.
“Roy Keane told me when I was at Sunderland that if you ask for someone’s shirt, it looks like you are in awe of them.”

UNDIE-PERFORMING
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proved his generosity by helping out a Danish underwear company following an impact on sales due to the coronavirus.
The Juventus superstar, who was worth over £300million last year, waived the money he is entitled to from JBS, who manufacture his range of CR7 pants.
The clothing line is one of the Portugal captain’s most lucrative endorsements and he regularly models his latest collections.
But Ronaldo has proved he is continuing to spearhead the fight against the coronavirus pandemic after he teamed up with his agent to finance hospitals in Portugal.
His CR7 range accounts for a mighty 14 percent of JBS’s revenue but the company’s CEO revealed the footballer has been supplying them economically during the current crisis.
Michael Alstrup told Finans: “Ronaldo’s people have said that because of the coronavirus this year, there will be no minimum payments at all.
“And Cristiano has even further helped us not to pay anything until 2021.”

PRICE DROP
Lionel Messi’s estimated price tag is at just under £101million as the world’s most expensive players have seen their valuations drop due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Barcelona legend, 32, is the only person in the list above the age of 30, while Jadon Sancho, Kai Havertz and Joao Felix are the youngest to feature with the trio aged just 20.
Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t even included in the top 25 most valuable players as Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe sits top of the pile.
The CIES Football Observatory recently stated how players could see their value drop by 28 per cent with clubs losing money due to the Covid-19 crisis.
And according to Transfermarkt, every footballer has seen their stock drop, which includes the six Premier League players in the top ten.
Mbappe, still only 21, has been named as the most valuable player in world football, with the 2018 World Cup winner’s price tag estimated at £162m.
