Wayne Rooney likens Arsenal target and Euro 2024 star to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Spain’s rising star Nico Williams, comparing him to the great Cristiano Ronaldo. Williams, just 22, has been a revelation at Euro 2024, helping Spain reach the final against England. Rooney, who played alongside Ronaldo at Manchester United, sees a similar spark in Williams. “Spain’s young wingers are their secret weapon,” Rooney said in The Times. “Lamine Yamal’s confidence will be sky-high after his stunning goal against France. He reminds me of my own fearless days at Euro 2004 – just a teenager living the dream. These young players, like Yamal, Williams, and Mainoo, are unbridled by fear. They’re simply enjoying the ride, playing with freedom and joy. That’s when the magic happens.”
