#Embarrassment and #RonaldoIs39 are currently trending on Nigeria’s X (formerly twitter) space, with the Spanish professional footballer Iniesta at the centre of it all.
Iniesta is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for UAE Pro League club Emirates.
Widely considered one of the greatest midfielders of all time, he is lauded for his balance, ball control and agility in close spaces, combined with his skill, composure, and flair on the ball.
Trouble, however, started when one WelBeast with X handle @WelBeast tweeted: “This has gone beyond the love for the game. Iniesta needs to be saved from the game.”
The tweet was followed by barrage of reactions, both in support and against the Emirates Club midfielder.
See the reactions critiquing Iniesta and provoking the #Embarrassment:

Others rise to his support, effectively upholding the #RonaldoIs39:
Its tough when players reach a point where their passion becomes a struggle. We often forget the toll that relentless dedication can take. Hopefully, Iniesta finds the balance he needs to prioritize his well-being without losing the spark that makes him great.

Ibrahimovic retired at the age of 41. He could have played more, but the injury prevented him. There was a player in the Japanese League who reached the age of 50. Do not break the sportsmanship.
