Cristiano Ronaldo's impact on Portuguese football is Legendary ! 🐐✨
I fail to understand how Cristiano Ronaldo is the only happy member in the Portuguese squad
Rest of these players have honestly no love or passion for the country. They just wanna go back to club football asap.
Miss the days when Portugal had players like Nani, Quaresma and Pepe who would give everything for the shirt.
They introduced a new award in 2021 to conveniently rob Lewandowski
Took that award out in 2022 when Messi was out of the picture
Introduced it back again in 2023 to rob Haaland
Time to wake up everyone
Portugal fans who hate Cristiano Ronaldo are the most ungrateful bunch there ever existed in football. He put Portugal on the map.
Portugal will actually go back to being irrelevant once he retires.
Was he the best player in the world yesterday, ofcourse not. Was the whole Portuguese team any better ? Absolutely not. The midfield couldn't control the ball for more than 5 seconds, but yeah blame Ronaldo for that 👍🏻
