“He’s finished”: the harsh criticism of Cristiano for his incredible misses against Nigeria before the World Cup

Three clear chances. None in. Cristiano Ronaldo, the top scorer in the history of men’s national teams with 143 goals, missed a one-on-one in the 8th minute, a trademark header, and a whiff on a low cross in the 49th minute that has already gone viral on X. All against Nigeria, a team that didn’t even qualify for the World Cup. ⚽😬

Portugal still won 2-1 and the team saved the match thanks to Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceição. But CR7 came off in the 65th minute without scoring, making it more than 270 minutes without goals or assists for the national team.

There are two clearly defined sides: those who say that with everything he has built, no one has the right to question him before his sixth World Cup. And those who argue that at 41 years old, against an opponent of that level, those misses cannot be ignored. 🔥 Which side are you on?
