Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal saw a devastating defeat in Qatar
In the Qatar World Cup, Portugal faced a devastating defeat against Morocco. Portugal coach Fernando Santos ended his stint after their exit. However, even before their exit, Santos dropped Ronaldo from the starting lineup of each of their knockout matches. With Santos gone, Roberto Martínez is set with the team.
The drama and last dance of Cristiano Ronaldo
Meanwhile, along with his unbeatable records and goals, the package of Cristiano Ronaldo also comes with a lot of drama. As per reports, Roberto Martínez has barred Ronaldo’s friends and companions from the team hotel. This step was reportedly taken to build a more unified team spirit and according to reports, this has positively impacted Ronaldo. The Portugal forward debuted in the Euro championship in 2004 June. After playing 207 matches for his country, he bagged 130 goals – the highest in men’s football. He took no time to make an impact in the footballing world with his unmistakable skills and flamboyant personality. Will he bring another trophy for the country from Germany this year?
