Referring to this.

You've won the Women's Ballon d'Or
You dribble, tackle, shoot and score
But do you twerk?

You strike a hard and well-aimed ball
Around a wide defensive wall
But do you twerk?

Top scorer in the Champions League

I know your sporting skills inspire us
But do you move like Miley Cyrus?
Do you twerk?!

But poor old Martin must confess he
Wouldn't ask this of Lionel Messi
What a jerk
