Cristiano Ronaldo has to sit on the bench against Scotland. The Bayern star is in Portugal’s starting line-up.
The superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was in the League of Nations game at the national team of Portugal against Scotland (from 8.45 pm in the live ticket office) surprisingly not in the starting line.
The Portuguese superstar only managed a 2-1 win against Croatia on Thursday his 900th goal at club and national team level accomplished and then let his emotions run wild.
Ronaldo came on at half time
With the restart the time had finally come. Cristiano Ronaldo came on for Neto (46th) to put his stamp on the game and potentially start a turnaround, because: At half time the Scots were 1-0 up. And the Portuguese came back quickly: former matchmaker Bruno Fernandes made it 1-1 (54th) after an assist from Rafael Leao. Ronaldo was not involved in the goal.
Without Ronaldo, the Portuguese got off to the worst possible start: Scott McIntosh gave the hosts the lead in the 7th minute with a stunning header after an assist from Kenny McLean.
Since the 2022 World Cup, Ronaldo has not started an official game from the bench: back then he was in the 1:6 defeat against Switzerland in the round of 16 (he came on as a substitute in the 74th minute) and in the 0:1 defeat against Morocco in the quarter-finals (he came on as a substitute in the 51st minute) on the bench.
Against Scotland, CR7 was again just on the bench, and the three Portuguese strikers consisted of Neto, Leao and Jota.
Bayern star in the starting line-up – and was immediately replaced
Joao Palhinha was allowed to play in the starting eleven FC Bayern Munich Be happy. Palhinha, who is currently having a difficult time at FC Bayern, was in the starting line-up for a competitive game for the first time since the European Championship semi-final against France (final score: 0-1 nE).
At half-time, however, it was over again for Palhinha. After a mixed first half, he had to make way for Rúben Neves.
