Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s getting weird

Portugal failed to take their chances at Hampden Park, ending their successful start to the new Nations League campaign. The Tartan Army held on and were held to a 0-0 draw, prompting an on-field tantrum from Ronaldo, who felt the referee had stopped the game too early. Ronaldo missed several chances during the game that he would normally have expected to score. If Scotland had been more clinical, they could have snatched the three points from Glasgow. However, most fans are happy to settle for a point and have taken to social media to mock Ronaldo.

There was no love for the football icon on X, formerly known as Twitter. So, after the game, user @FCBYamal17 said: « Cristiano Ronaldo brakes Portugal “.

Another viewer, @_tekkerzwit, agreed with the first post, saying: “ Cristiano Ronaldo should forget the 2026 World Cup He has done enough for football.

@AzzurroWolf pointed out that Portugal could play better football without their key player in the starting XI. He posted: “ I love this one. This is the best in my opinion. But imagine how good Portugal would be today without Cristiano Ronaldo. »

@TonytheTim90 disagreed with Ronaldo’s comments after the final whistle, saying: “Cristiano Ronaldo may be a good football player, but by God his things on the football field get more embarrassing every time I watch him. »

Cr7 is lit

Finally, @Watson2711 said: “ This Portuguese team is going nowhere under Martinez. “Ronaldo is afraid to let him down, even though it is clear that it is terrible and harmful for the team. »

If Ronaldo missed a number of chances on Tuesday night, he wasn’t the only player in a Portugal shirt who didn’t do well. Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes had poor games, and it was only when Roberto Martinez made his second-half substitutions that Portugal really took control of things.
