Ves a @martinolimx llorar y entiendes que todos estábamos en el mismo barco, pidiendo un centro o pase decente la ultima media hora y no fueron capaces de hacer los cambios correctos, de que te sirven 3 delanteros si sacaste a los que tienen la magia.
"Un día estaremos en el bar, viejos y gordos, y diremos: Ganamos la Eurocopa para Portugal."
Pase lo que pase hoy, no necesitas demostrar nada, ya has hecho historia con tu país.
🚨 Bruno & Co. Go Missing, But Ronaldo Takes All the Blame Portugal’s Sad Reality:
🗣Roy Keane
“Truth be told, Ronaldo is rarely the problem in this Portugal team.
If you watched the game closely, you could see how Bruno Fernandes was playing. It looked like he (and others) were almost expecting another comfortable run as they had against Spain. That complacency was disappointing.
Portugal have experienced, high-quality midfielders who light it up week in, week out for their clubs. Yet when they pull on the national shirt, that same intensity and purpose often disappears. Instead of making incisive passes to create clear chances, they opt for safe, sideways possession. But the moment they conceded a goal, suddenly the long balls and urgency appeared, the very things they hadn’t been willing to try earlier. That contrast was painful to watch.
In the end, as usual, all the blame and hate will fall on Ronaldo. It’s unfair. Sometimes it feels like he chose the wrong country to represent, because no matter how well he performs or how much he carries the team, the criticism always lands heaviest on him.”
Las críticas caen sobre Cristiano, obviamente porque, como dijo Menotti alguna vez, nadie va a apuntar al lateral derecho sino a la figura. Pero que mundialito el de Bruno Fernández, Vitinha y Neves. Una media cancha medio pelo al final del día.
🚨 Floyd Mayweather on IG: “My brother, congratulations on an incredible career and everything you've accomplished.
What you've done for football will never be forgotten. You've inspired millions around the world and changed the game forever.
The work, the discipline, the consistency, and the greatness you've displayed over the years are what legends are made of.
Much respect for everything you've given to the sport. Wishing you nothing but continued success in whatever comes next.
Keep being great, Champ. You earned every bit of the respect that comes with your name.
Much love and respect always.” ❤️
🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Portugal's national team:
"First of all, congratulations to Portugal. If the objective was to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo, then you've achieved it."
"For years, people kept saying Cristiano was the reason Portugal struggled. Others claimed the team would be better without him and that there was no difference between Portugal with or without Cristiano. Fine—now the pressure is on them to prove it."
"From this moment, people will judge this team by what they achieve after Cristiano. If they truly believed he was holding them back, then they must go on to win the next European Championship and compete seriously for the next World Cups. That's how football works—you have to back up your words with results."
"We all know Portugal's history before Cristiano Ronaldo, and we all know what he helped the national team achieve during his era. He played a huge role in changing the mentality of Portuguese football and helped deliver the biggest trophies in the country's history."
"What disappointed me wasn't the result—it was the attitude. Throughout the tournament, it often looked like the unity and fight that made this team successful in the past just wasn't there. Everyone watching could see that."
"Now there's no more debate about Cristiano. The spotlight is fully on this generation of players. They'll be judged by what they win from here on, not by what they say. Football always remembers trophies, not excuses."
“Ícaro se rió mientras caía, porque sabía que había tocado el sol. No estaba triste porque sabía que la caída significaba que había volado más alto que nadie. Otros vivieron seguros en la tierra, pero nunca sabrían lo que se siente llegar tan alto”
La Cobra señala a los verdaderos culpables de la eliminación de Portugal. 🇵🇹
“¿Quieren saber la realidad? ¿Saben quién es el principal responsable de la eliminación de Portugal? No es Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo, con 41 años, amigo, hizo 3 goles en el Mundial...”
“Mundial horrible de los Vitinha, de los Bruno Fernandes, horrible Mundial de Bernardo Silva, que cada vez que entraba solo pegaba patadas. Mundial normalito de los centrales. A mí me vendieron que Portugal tenía la mejor generación de toda su historia, que iban a respaldar a Cristiano, que lo iban a carrear. Y amigo, esta Portugal flojísima, flojísima, amigo. La realidad es la que hay.”
Hoje dói, mas uma derrota nunca vai definir quem tu és. Obrigado por me inspirares todos os dias com a tua força, dedicação e paixão pelo futebol.
Para mim, serás sempre o maior de todos os tempos.
Amo-te. ❤️🇵🇹
Just for reference
Ronaldo played against Spain in 04 vs the likes of Puyol, Raul and Morientes
He then played Spain in 2010 against the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets
He now plays them in 2026 vs the likes of Lamine Yamal and Pedri
Generations change. Greats remain
