Spain eliminated Ronaldo, Mbappé and Messi from the same World Cup.
Yet somehow Ronaldo was treated like the only one who failed.
Shots on target against Spain:
Ronaldo — 2
Mbappé — 0
Messi — 0
One actually tested the goalkeeper. The other two disappeared but the outrage was reserved for Ronaldo?
Different players. Different standards.
At 34 years old, Juventus paid €100 million for Cristiano Ronaldo.
He went on to score over 100 goals, won multiple trophies, and produced one of the greatest Champions League nights ever with that hat-trick against Atlético Madrid.
But apparently I’m supposed to erase all of that because Messi beat Jordan, cheated his way against Egypt and Cape Verde, then picked up a couple of assists against England.
🇵🇹 Portugal had never won a single major trophy in its entire history…
Until a boy from Madeira, born on the 5th of February 1985…
Cristiano Ronaldo changed everything. 🐐
Ce mec m'a fait aimer le foot, j'ai passé des milliers d'heures devant ma télé grâce à lui.
C'est tellement dur de le voir partir définitivement de cette équipe.
On est plus sur une simple légende, c'est une icône. Pour moi il restera à jamais le n°1.
Portugal just admitted that even they don’t believe Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT.
Argentina would never voluntarily take Messi out of a tied match in the knockout stages of the World Cup because they believe he always gives them the best chance to win.
Portugal believes they have a better chance at winning without Cristiano Ronaldo on the field to finish the game.
Wow.
