Diamantino Miranda likens Sporting player to... Donald Trump | OneFootball

At the end of the Sporting - Bodo/Glimt match, Francisco Trincão was named the MVP of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, but he decided to give the award to Maxi Araújo in the locker room. Diamantino Miranda compared this gesture to that of Donald Trump, when he kept the Nobel Peace Prize of Corina Machado, a Venezuelan politician.

"I don't like this, it's a show of friendship but I don't like it because players individually always want to be the best. This is a Trump moment, who wanted Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize", he said during the Liga D'Ouro program.

The former Benfica forward reinforced his stance. "If he (Trincão) was recognized by UEFA as the best player on the field, he should be the one to have the award", he emphasized. The Portuguese international made two assists in the match.

It's worth remembering that Maxi Araújo fulfilled a promise. Presumably at home, the 26-year-old athlete decided to dive into the pool and properly recorded the moment on social media. "A promise must be kept", explained Sporting's number "20".
