@neiltennant The people in India who have Portuguese blood are Portuguese as well . My girlfriend is from Jamaica and her great-great-great grandfather was Portuguese. And she has Dark chocolate skin and Afro-textured hair and she is Ethnic Portuguese just like your friends who are full and half.
He definitely has North African Berber ancestry he’s tanner then even most Portuguese
That’s possible. The Moors were in Spain/Portugal as well many ages ago, but he’s still considered Portuguese. Most people who have ancestry from the Mediterranean do have a little North African or Middle Eastern ancestry.

CR7 and Messi’s pics are very very old. If you can, you might change them with more recent ones.
I keep asking it. I think Leo has changed a lot. CR7 maybe less.
He has five Ballon d’Or awards, like Lionel Messi.
