'I donβt know if people are surprised by Cristiano Ronaldo's struggle so far, but it is absolutely nothing new.
'Ronaldo made so little impact at Euro 2024 (no goals in five games) and even at the 2022 World Cup, where he scored one goal (a penalty against Ghana) in five appearances.
'The difference at the Euros was that he was at least getting chances. So far this afternoon he has barely had a sniff.' - @OliverKay
