Argentina footballer Yamila Rodriguez made a bold choice by getting a tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo alongside the iconic image of Argentina legend Diego Maradona. While most people would opt for Lionel Messi, Yamila proudly expressed her admiration for Ronaldo, calling him her idol and claiming he is the best player in the world.

Yamila, a 25-year-old footballer, was spotted on the sidelines during Argentina’s Women’s World Cup opener against Italy with the eye-catching tattoo. Despite Messi leading Argentina to World Cup victory recently, Yamila remains steadfast in her preference for Ronaldo, even stating that she has him with her forever through the tattoo.

Notably, this Women’s World Cup is a crucial moment for Argentina’s women’s national team, which has faced challenges and upheavals in the past. They suffered funding cuts from the Argentine Football Association seven years ago but have since returned to the international stage. This summer’s competition is only the fourth time they have competed in a Women’s World Cup, but they are determined to make their mark.

In their opening game, Argentina faced a 1-0 defeat against Italy. However, they hope to bounce back and progress beyond the group stage for the first time in their history. They will need to rally against South Africa, their next opponent, and then face Sweden in the final group stage match.

Despite the obstacles, the women’s team’s performances have been gaining attention and appreciation from fans across the country. The thrilling 3-3 draw with Scotland during the 2019 Women’s World Cup showcased their fighting spirit and marked a turning point in Argentina’s attitude towards women’s football.

As Yamila and her teammates strive for success in the Women’s World Cup, they hope to inspire a better outcome for their team and cement a place for themselves in Argentina’s football culture.
