    I think it's pretty much well known that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is half Croatian - half Bosnian. And as far as I know Ronaldo's granma was born in Cape Verde while it still was a Portugese colony.

      I agree . It is one thing to speak of parents and grandparents . That way a lot of black players based for example in European countries such as Mbappe, Pogba, Bakayoko Saka, Hudson Odoi etc etc have African roots. If you want to go back hundreds of years like 600 years then players like Vini Junior have African roots all players from South America in fact have African of European roots 300 years or more ago.
