Ronaldo in the best squad in the Premier League

Older brotherCristiano Ronaldo is ranked in the position of a striker, instead of top scorer Son Heung-min, in the best team of the English Premier League 2021-2022 of the British Professional Footballers Association (PFA).

The Portuguese striker was chosen despite the fact that Man Utd experienced a bad season when he did not qualify for the Champions League and finished with the lowest score of the Premier League era. Ronaldo scored 18 goals, but did not shoot or assist in 17 Premier League games last season.

PFA’s choice is even more controversial when they cross out Son Heung-min. The Korean striker won the top scorer with 23 goals, including no penalty goals. He also went down in history when he became the first Asian player to win the Premier League’s top scorer. The Korean striker’s brilliant form helps Tottenham overtake Arsenal to finish fourth.

The fact that Son was not named in the best team of the PFA faced a wave of criticism on social networks. “It’s a crime not to have Son in this lineup,” Twitter account @ErenLDN emphasize. “Why? Son won the Golden Boot without penalty”, @KymanyMarley14 wonder.
