Ronaldo's showcase was truly remarkable, demonstrating his unparalleled talent and impact on the football world. It was a testament to his enduring legacy, bringing together players from various stages of his illustrious career.
Jason Voorhes Let’s face it Spain dominated Portugal and if it was not for that penalty and lucky goal from Ronaldo Spain would have easily won it and that’s why Ronaldo was celebrating at the end he knew that Portugal wasn’t the favorite and that Spain deserved to win that match
@Nahdhal Belajar yyyeeees? what about it? If the debate is about greatest performance in the history then pls consider all performances in history as well and this was one of the alltime greatest and it was in a world cup K. O. stage
Both were pretty much the same goal with minimal differences, yet Pavards goal made #1 on the FIFA top goal list, but Nacho's didn't even make it. Very strange
There's contact. He smiles because Nacho did not want to accept his failure in front 9f their colleagues. There's contact, and the referee confirmed with VAR
The commentator said " Portugal's hopes rests on Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulders" But the hope was restored by his magical feet and brilliant mind in that last minute esctatic free kick.
In a pinch, that's where the bests show their finest arts. Respect for managing the pressure where you had no room for failure. Sad they couldn't face France in 1/4.
One of world Cup all time classic. Thrilling derby from the starف to the end. It was like a roller coaster and a side scoring game between Ronaldo and Costa.
I’ve got to respect Portugal these past three years they have created so much talent like Bruno Fernandes Jao Felix Bernardo Silva Jota Rubén Días André Silva all in the span of a few years before it was just Ronaldo and players who’s were on the brink of retirement
