However, instead of shooting, Ronaldo passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes, who easily put it into the back of the net. This action increased Ronaldo’s total assists in European Championship games to seven, putting him ahead of former Manchester United player Pavel Poborsky. After the game, some fans expressed surprise that Ronaldo did not take the opportunity himself, something unusual for him. However, a moving theory has emerged to explain Ronaldo’s decision. Some eagle-eyed fans noticed that after the break, Ronaldo changed out of the green football boots he wore in the first half.
Upon closer inspection, they noticed that the new choice of footwear bore the name of Fernandes’ young daughter, Matilde, lending credence to the idea that Ronaldo borrowed his teammate’s boots during the break. After the game, Bruno Fernandes shared: “Cristiano is an incredible teammate and his action today was really appreciated. When I saw that he was wearing cleats with my daughter’s name on them, I was deeply moved. This shows the unity and friendship in our team.” Although he didn’t score, the Al-Nassr captain still holds several tournament records. In addition to having scored the most goals in the history of the finals (14 goals) and having the most victories (14 games), Ronaldo is the only player to participate in six different European Championships, with Germany marking two decades since he participated in the Portugal’s campaign to the final at home in 2004.
This victory guarantees Roberto Martinez’s team the lead in Group F, with qualification for the knockout stages already assured. The Portuguese team will end the group stage by facing Georgia in Cologne next Wednesday. Related Posts. Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks the Silence About Casemiro’s Transfer to Al Nassr.
