As a Portuguese top comment on Reddit said: "Our Portugal National team feels like a Make a Wish program for Ronaldo to fulfill his individual dreams" 😆

Ronaldo is greedy. 39 year old playing all the minutes. Young players deserve a chance in that Portugal team

Summary 0 goals in Euros 1 Bluetooth goal in WC Conclusion: Both tournaments have lost CREDEBILITY

You want to start Ronaldo fine, but dude has no business being there 120 minutes

Unpopular opinion: Ronaldo's international career is overrated. 0 best player award 3 goals in his entire k/o games Very average goal ratio

He should look at Thomas Müller. His main job was to assist the coach and take care of the younger players. He had no. Problem accepting his role

The Qatar World Cup should have been enough of a wake up call about Ronaldo’s decline. Stat padding in a third rate Saudi league and the hype from his fanboys deceived a lot of people. Portugal are wasting an elite squad by catering to a 39 year old diva that still believes he’s the best in the world.

Ronaldo is a walking corpse on the pitch. Transfer him to coaching on the sidelines.

The real GOAT here is luminarath, the guy leaked the correct scores of the entire Euro 2024 and all were correct so far. We will all be depressed when they cancel him for spreading this info to the people.

Many people won’t like to hear this but the only impressive thing about Cristiano Ronaldo’s International career is the remarkable longevity. His goals per game record doesn’t compare to the greats. His performances in major tournaments average at best. Big k/o games, awful.

Pendu is finished. Retire please

The Guardian: "He claims another free-kick from an impossible angle, and somehow manages to hit all three players in the wall." 😀

By far the worst player in the tournament. Even ref ran more than ronaldo. Imagine you have strikers like Jota and Ramos but dont play even a minute, just because a 40 year old selfish kid want to play 120 minutes everygame👌

Portugal practicaly played one man short with 10 players

Lmaooo Ronaldo fans love dragging Messi saying both are not performing don’t forget they wrote of Messi at psg saying he’s finished then at the world cup was putting on crazy performances every single game it’s like he was thriving under the immense pressure and the rest is history lmaooo

Yes yes he did but also Martinez, imagine having Felix Ramos and Jota at your disposal and keeping a delusional 39y who just like his fanbase still thinks he's the goat.

Worst player of tournament goes to Cristiano ronaldo with 0 goal , 0 assist in 5 games

100% they would have done better without ronaldo... dude scored no goals and hes not a playermaker so.. yea should have been out yeah messi played just as bad against ecuador but messi is injured so you can have somewhat of exucse.. still if messi play like that next game yeah he should be subbed out... thats all even if messi and ronaldo are the goats that does not mean you cant sub them out... team b4 player! thats something that portugal cant seems to understand

Ronaldo is like Biden, doesn't know when to retire while tanking the team

No penalty for Portugal and no own goal for France. These two strikers not showing up made the game a boring one to watch.

Ronaldo is the main problem of Portugal. As soon as he retires, Every coach will make this team better.

Penaldo is an overrated tap-in / penalty merchant

Ronaldo think that Euro has less competitive players less world class players like poor Saudi league that he can play 90 minutes and score hattrick almost every week 😅😅😅

Portugal was basically playing with 10 man this whole tournament. Ronaldo was a Ghost in every game and the Coach was too afraid to bench him. Such a shame because Portugal looked so strong.

Playing 10 players throughout the tournament, Martinez is really golden era killer

I am Portuguese and I love Ronaldo and everything he has done for Portugal, every Portuguese should be proud of him but everything has an end. Enough is enough, everything is about Ronaldo, all the spotlight goes to him, I really think he is draining the team unfortunately. What he has done for Portugal in the past, we should feel proud of it but what matters is the present. How on earth did he play 120 minutes today? The whole tournament? He is not the same, he should acknowledge that. He still has a spot on the team obv but either needs to start on the bench and come in or be substituted when he is not performing, but no, all that matters is his records, ego and status....but let me tell you guys he is not the only one. This Portugal federation is rot, all that matters is the money. Jorge mendes does whatever he wants as well, Ronaldo too....Why do you think a coach like Mourinho could never train Portugal right now? Because he would not tolerate this. Thats why they chose martinez. Look what happened to Fernando Santos when he decided to bench Ronaldo.... It makes zero sense, if he is the main striker, why would he play almost full match against Georgia? A game where Martinez decided to rotate the team....he is 39 years old. Oh wait I forgot, he has to score goals and chase personal records. I am tired of this Ronaldo movie tbh. Such a shame....I love Ronaldo but he is destroying his last years. We have so much quality, young players, in every position we have guys playing for top clubs and then we just cant do anything because everything revolves around Ronaldo. And Martinez is such a mediocre coach. Subbing our best player of the tournament (Vitinha) the other day and making subs that made zero sense. Today he decided to sub Matheus Nunes in 3 min left to the end of the game, instead of putting rafael leao as striker and diogo jota on the left side he subs Joao felix in.....such a shame

I'm sick and tired of all these Ronaldo fan boys, quoting the same old arguments about his past and his achievements. What has Ronaldo achieved in the last 5 years? What has Ronaldo done for you lately? Erik ten Hag knew this, and he wasn't quite ready to pander to the past. Unlike this spineless dandy from Portugal.😃 You want a quote? The greatest boxer of all time once said: "It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you down. It's the pebble in your shoe." Well, the legend that WAS Ronaldo, is the pebble in Portugal's shoes. Pathetic!😉

Both ronaldo's and martinez's fault

The Ronaldo fangirls will come for you for this segment

Im going to be controversial here and ask two questions 1. Has there ever been a worse individual international campaign than Ronaldo at euro 2024? (Supposedly a top player, 5 games 0 goals 1 missed penalty, 4838382 free kicks into the wall) 2. Has there ever been a more disappointing international career when it mattered most? TWENTY-ONE games in the knockout stages of major international tournaments.. 3 goals 😬 i dont ever want to hear about an "elite mentality" ever again when describing a flat track bully against luxembourg

as a Ronaldo fan he is the reason why Portugal lost why play 90+ mins when u know ur old and not performing well g.ramos should've played now I see the big ego English media talks about

Cr7 in euros/world cup knockout matches- 21 Goals - 3 Assist -2 player of the tournament -0 Messi copa/wc knockout stats Matches - 29 Goals- 10 Assist - 18 Player of the tournament-4

Little boy from Al nassr 😂 hold france goalless for 120 mins

Ronaldo missed an easy open chance against france

The best game Portugal ever played was whit Cristiano on the bench. It wqs the 2016 Euro final vs France.

Ronaldo and Speed's kids are all going to cry now 😂

Ronaldo’s Accomplishments in 2024 🥳: Two HATTRICK™ (against logoless clubs) Celebrating like he won the World Cup (he will never) 1 Assist in the EUROS (a own goal) 1 Yellow Card 🟨 Crying in 2 MATCHES 😭 DIVES several times 🐬 9-0 against the best team in the world 🇱🇺 Plays victim 🎀🎀 Ghosts against Al-Hilal (their owners) Getting owned by GK’s 🧤🧤 Gets eliminated in the AFC Champion Leagues by Al-Ain With Ronaldo 🤢🤢🤢: 🇸🇮2-0 Without Ronaldo: 5-1 🇸🇪 39 year old child 🐪🐪🐪

This loss is fully on Bald Martinez. That man had two of the best teams to win some trophies over the years but he is one of the worst coach and dk sckr. How could he keep a 39 year old non performing brat for two straight 120 mins matches. If he didn’t had guts to say no that guy he should never taken job just to disappoint an entire nation. CR7 is finished…just tell me the last time he scored when it actually mattered and not some nonsense hat tricks against nobody. Even if a uber league 4th division player plays in such high quality team and staying 90 mins in penalty box he will score few goals but what matters is to score in these important matches. It’s been years now this arrogant brat missing in these clutch matches and still plays whole game. If there is any shame left he should leave the international team and enjoy his money in camel league.

Jota and Ramos are clear of that Saudi fraud, he scores 50 goals against Mickey Mouse sides and can’t even score in the easier group stage 😂

Should have started JOTA

I believe ronaldo wants to probably play in the world cup because of how the last one ended for him. From what i saw today i would still put him in the squad but for more of a supporting role. Coming on in the 60th/70th minute. I believe he will actually be more useful to the team in that respect. Today all i saw was him waiting for crosses in the box which tbf the delivery wasn't that great. In the past he could rely on himself to do things but now he is really relying a lot more on his teammates for service and if the deliveries aren't good then you don't see him doing anything the whole game. His pace seems to be ok but he doesn't seem to be able to beat defenders 1v1 anymore but tbf french defenders are quick as well. If portugal want to have a successful world cup then he needs to take a little bit of a back seat cause it will be a waste of world cup if they do this all over again. On the other hand pepe was amazing. He is the definition right now of age is just a number. Truly amazing performance.

penaldo crying... and his fans are looking for reasons... 1. It has been set 2. the referee cheated 3. because of interference from outsiders 4. and only capital rides 0 trophies. capital players ride, that's a penaldo

Portugal coach has taken huge bribe to make Cristiano in playing 11. He does not deserve that place .

Leboeuf is completely wrong to bring up Greece 2004 there, they scored 4 of their 7 goals from open play including the one that knocked out France in the quarter-finals.

THE PROBLEM WITH PETULANT RONALDO IS THAT HE SANG HE OWN PARISES TOO MUCH. THAT IS WHY REASONABLE PEOPLE DO NOT EMPATHIZE WHEN HE LOSES.

Yes, he did. I’m pretty sure portugal would have won that match if Gonçalo Ramos was playing.

Ronaldo was a passenger the entire game. Imagine keeping him on for 120 minutes in case penalties occur rather than brining on someone who could finish the game much earlier 🙄

Yes Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever. But he cannot play forever. Portugal has such young talented players. They should focus on developing a young team like Spain. They will do well in the future

Portugal should have subbed him with jota or ramos after half time..Cristiano is a top finisher but he is not effective anymore because of his age.he barely touches the ball.Portugal should have taken a bold decision.

Worst Euro tournament this time 😂😂😂 Spain Vs Germany was the only match that gave fans Goosebumps 😊

Cristiano Ronaldo ruined the Euro for Portugal. For several years he has affected other players projection and given nothing to the team. This was visible against France, Portugal played with 10 men. He was the one who prevented Portugal from going further in the European Championship.

Ohh stop it, Ronaldo wasnt the problem... This hate is unbelievable, it was a lotery and he did score his penalty

It's Portugal entire team who lost. At the same time I do believe that Portugal should have focused on their young talents.

Ronaldo needs to look at lewandowski. When lewandowksi was criticized for sitting in the box not moving he adopted and plays deeper in midfield now

Fair play to Les bleus, but this loss is solely on Martinez's ineptitude, a Spanish double agent if there ever was one. Conceding a tournament to satisfy Ronaldo's ego is straight-up reprehensible. The news outlets in Portugal will be licking their chops at the prospect of bringing in Mourinho.

Ronaldo fans hahahahahaha this is your goat !!!! How many goals did he score this tournament? Just asking

21 knockout games - 3 goals with 95 shots taken is absolutely indefensible.

When i said playing ronaldo as a starter will be a bad choice for the team. His fans kept defending him .martinez is a coward for playing him for the whole tournament without substituting him or starting him on the bench.

Ronaldo didn't cost the game Martinez did. He accommodated Ronaldo walking around the pitch for 100 of the 120 minutes he played. Such great talent on the Portugal squad and he left them on the bench most of the tournament.

At some point towards end, Ronaldo must have been subbed

My favojrite momentt of the match was when ronaldo dived after missing a chaance right next to goal

Well, he never saw the ball in 120 minutes, Martinez should have change him sooner, or at least insert him during second half of the game. Diogo jota and Goncalo Ramos needed to play if Portugal wanted to win

The disrespect is insane. Literally the top goal scorer of all time. Typically what have you done now mind set. The man leads off in penalties to set the tone. He deserves way more respect since he is the one responsible for putting Portugal on the map.

Ronaldo playing for 120 minutes certainly stopped Portugal playing to their best as a team. Even his own team mates realised he was poor and avoided passing to him most of the time.

ronaldo's stats against france: 11 touches in 120 minutes, 0 shots on target and 3 dives.. he is old.. he cant help portugal anymore.. the coach should just bench him cuz portugal played way better without cr7 on the field and this is the truth tho even if you like it or not

Yes they were limited when they were relying on a 40 year old to be their focal point.

What a waste of these portugal talents. All because of a narcisist old guy

This nonsense english media should teach their team how to Win a major trophy because they haven't win anything in last 58 years And England is the Tottenham of international football 😂😂

But he's scored loads of goals in his pub league. 😂 Martinez cost Portugal. He should be sacked. Wasted Belgium squad and now doing that with Portugal

Again. They’re not talking about Mbappe isn’t doing anything this tournament. These guys man

Ronaldo has a better overall rating in the tournament than Leao, Felix, Jota, and Ramos. He provided two big chances which is one more than Fernandes, and Silva, he had one assist which was given to Bruno on a silver platter, his average correct pass percentage was higher than Bruno, one of our best midfielders. Nobody deserves to be on that squad more than Ronaldo. He also had a higher percentage of shots on target than Mbappe, the supposed best player in the world right now.

Portugal will have a good future when Ronaldo retires

No, he wasnt the reason. It's Martinez' responsibility to take him off and make those decisions. Even Deschamps took of Mbappe.

Seeing the way Ronaldo celebrated his shootout goal today defines everything - it’s not about the team, but himself. He played 120 minutes today and was dead weight like he was all tournament. His team made a big deal about his group stage assist because they’re not used to him sharing the glory. He needs to be told by his fans and by his squad that he has to go. If you all truly love Portugal, they’ll only be able to contend for trophies without him. He holds them back for his own selfish need for attention. Shame on Pepe for suiting up as well.

I’ve never liked Ronaldo as a team player. When he was young, this was not so much of a problem since his speed, power and overall attacking prowess compensated for his lack of teamwork. He was just a lethal apex predator in his prime. But once he started to slow down, he either needed to become more of a team player, passing up opportunities to other team mates, or step back (either dropping from the team or being used as an impact sub). I’d go so far as to say this goes back as far as eight years. Portugal won the euros when Ronaldo got injured. Sure, he has scored many goals over the years, but I’d expect that from a good striker given just how many chances his team offers him in front of goal.

The Frenchman has emotional intelligence

C Ronaldo is no where near the original Ronaldo from Brazil

Portugal will win the next World Cup, when Ronaldo is retired

I wonder why a 39-year-old will put his person achievement over a whole nation

Ronaldo and Mbappe were the two worst players on the field they cost their team the quality of performance needed at this level

Dont forget, in Portugals biggest win , cr7 was hurt( beating france in the euro final/ 2016,

It's a bit disrespectful tbh.. I'm not a huge fan of Ronny's but in large part he's been carrying this national team for the past 10-15 years at least. What woukd Portugal have done without Ronaldo these past 15 years? With what players? And to make precise about this competition, what other players showed the promise to take over with Ronaldo out? No one I believe. At least at the world cup there were a couple. Now nobody..

Blaming one person instead of the team as a collective is absolutely absurd. I'm not saying he played great, but neither did the team!! The media are snakes

CR7 is lucky he got injured in that game against France if not Portugal wouldn't have won the Euros that year

Cristiano Ronaldo the most overrated football player of all time

1.Messi 🐐 2.Pele 3.Maradona 4.Cr7

It was better Ronaldo played all the games, i think he finally admits himself that he is no-longer the same Ronaldo. Now he gets to retire happily. It was important for a Portugal legend to admits for himself with support from coach and supporters.

In order to play at top performance one has to compete with the best. Imagine Roger Federer playing in college league for two years and returing to play with top ten players, he will get crushed.

Ronaldo fans should absolutely SHUT UP!! Stop with your victim mentality cards and fandom drooling BS! Ronaldo is an All-time Great, yes but he can't cut it anymore.. He's a hindrance to thr team, holding them back..if he Truly loves his nation and isn't just pestering around for his own narcissistic legacy, then he should step down for the young guns to take over

The guy lost the ball every time in the final third and sent the ball to the moon with a tap in chance 😂😂😂

So many chances and free kicks missed im glad this was his last run

Did anyone watch the game? Whether it was Ronaldo or jota up front...Bruno, leao, vitinha, what horrible crossing...not 1 single buildup play was tried. Set pieces reached French defenders 9xs out of 10. Let's be real, France is the stronger squad, and they were shooting themselves in the foot all match.

You can easily tell both Ronaldo and Messi’s level dropped significantly when they started playing in Saudi and MLS. The football quality in those leagues is not the same. They don’t play aggressive and smart football, players in those leagues are low level and low iq. Ya they can get a lot of goals and whatever there, but when it comes to these competitions at this age they look lost. Age caught up with both of them and they’re both playing where they should be playing at this stage of their career. You have to be blind and a fanboy to not see it and admit it.

Look, soccer is easier and worse today than it was 10-20 years ago. A 16 year old kid is dominating even though he’s a much weaker player than Messi or Ronaldo. Ronaldo can score 50 goals a season at the age of 40 and outscore Mbappe and Haaland. Pepe can probably play defense in the premier league well into his 60s. Biden can probably play in one of the lesser teams in the premier league and it wouldn’t affect the team…

Was Ronaldo's lack of pace a problem..?? ..yes..but to place blame on him for the failure of the entire team and their exit is a stretch..look at the whole team in perspective..guys like Bruno Bernardo Leao failed to show their gameplay for their country when it was time to put up and Martinez is basically Fernando Santos 2.0 ..

Ronaldo was not an issue. Portugal had 3 clear chances (63, 107, 119 minute) to score and did not capitalize. Poor finishing from other strikers not just Ronaldo.

C'mon if you actually watch felix, ramos and jota, they're not consistent natural strikers. Jota is a great sub, amazing in fact. Felix takes too many shots that are off target, ramos is just a below average striker. Is ronaldo still great, maybe not, but he is no worse than those other guys.

Didn't Ramos have a hat trick in the world cup the one game Ronaldo didn't play???

This happens when you qualify in the quarterfinals due to luck 😢😢

The difference is Ronaldo will be remembered 100 years from now and none of you will after a year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
