The newspaper explained that Postecoglou also excluded the French duo Kingsley Coman and Mehmet Simakan.

For his part, Ronaldo is going through a special period, as he scored three goals in the match of eternity that took place yesterday, Thursday, which is his first "hat-trick" this season.
"The Don" raised his total tally to 985 goals throughout his illustrious football career with various clubs and the Portuguese national team, leaving him just 15 goals away from making history and reaching the 1000-goal mark.
