Portugal was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup on July 6, defeated 1-0 by Spain in the round of 16. And there was Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years old, with tears in his eyes in front of the cameras.
But something about that scene did not add up. Thousands of social media users noticed that his forehead remained completely smooth, without a single wrinkle, even at the most emotional moment of his farewell. “Ronaldo got so much Botox that it does not even look like he is crying”, someone wrote, and the comment filled up with jokes about injections.
The wave revived a video from October 2025 in which a plastic surgeon had already pointed out dental veneers and a possible chin augmentation in the footballer. Nothing confirmed, all speculation. But enough to make you want to watch that tear again with different eyes.
