his problem is the obsession and jealousy he has over messi that he can't get over. if you notice since world cup 2022, ronaldo has been more emotional. even crying in meaningless camel league matches, and now recently the so-called "mentality monster" cried like a baby even though there was 15 mins left. i think when messi lifted the world cup trophy in 18 december 2022 and knowing ronaldo's obsession and jealousy.. something snapped inside of ronaldo that night for sure.

[@NandoFIT-df8ly]

the only logical explanation for ronaldo refusing to retire is because he knows he must win both euro 2024 and world cup 2026 to overtake messi's international accomplishments. as it stands, messi has 1 world cup and 1 copa america, while ronaldo has only 1 euro. if he wins this euro, it will not be enough to equal messi, so he needs to win the world cup also. that's all considering messi doesn't win anymore tournaments. i think ronaldo crying after missing the pen was him realizing that his deluded

I agree with that last statement, Portugal has amazing players, and to stop their success because of one player doesn't matter how great he was, It's just sad. And if Ronaldo doesn't see that, men, then he might be prouder than we thought.

[@Kizzshoto]

I feel like you're just stating people vs media in there. As a fellow portuguese, most people I see that are invested in football and keeping up with our national team are definitly more critical of the tactics and of other players like Bernardo and Bruno (that are underperforming massibly), than of Ronaldo. Most of us came to accept that he is not the same, but he's still miles ahead of any player in his position. Moreover, many players have come forward criticizing the media for trying to make Ronaldo some kind of egotistical douch that is in the control of the national team and everyone hates him.

@@Kizzshoto how can you even say for sure the other striker options are worse considering they barely played during the qualifiers and maybe once or twice in friendlies? ofc you won't see improvement considering the teams and the tactics are built around having ronaldo as the striker, and while that may work against weaker sides, we're seeing the weaknesses the system has against not even the best teams in the world. a great team isn't built in an instant and we should definetly start considering having someone other than ronaldo as our striker unless he wants to embarass himself at the euros

Leao likes open transitioin opposiite of ronny its disaster tactics. Ronaldo isnt a striker he doesnt drag defenders out of box for wingers like morata for spaini. He doesnt playwith back to goal or hold up play for wingers to play off him. He cant get on end of header its just brutal to watch hes my age seen every minute of intl careerI resent that Ive had to see him go through this it will stick to legacy.

As manager its your job to save players filled with pride from themselves and make sure they are always in situation to succeed and this has been awful. Bruno had 9 goals and assists n qualiyinig led all of europe hes had 3 shots and cant create because CR is in box in between two centerbacks there is no space. Silva and leao drift in and bruno is creative heartof attack. Im hopeful ronaldo finds some grace and allows these guys toplay together so team is dangerous and hard to defend against france. Striker has to make runs like a felix, jota, can if they cant play with back to goal and hold up playlike ramos. Ronny wont do either atmoment and hes atend of a 4=2=3=1 last match so everything has to go through him. Its so broken and such a mess. No press either and against france they will have possession and attack unlike slovenia so they will need to press they wont hand you the ball back liem evryone else we faced.

It's overlooked that the coach, Roberto Martinez, is the one selecting Ronaldo to start as the #9. He didn't start in the World Cup and clearly, the coach feels he's the best option right now.

He performed great in qualifiers but against lower nations it’s hard to call what that actually means for proper games really

Kane has always been underwhelming in these tournaments (despite being leading goal scorer in the last euros I think), Rooney always used to get criticised, Messi before the last World Cup (with penalties galore) had an underwhelming record in major international tournaments. Ronaldo has played well, his link up play has been good and if he gets proper chances he will score. He used to miss sitters even at his peak (like every player including Messi). So magnifying everything in this tournament does not necessarily mean he is finished.

I’m a messi fan, but I consider both players goats, and at the same level. Ronaldo is ageing; it’s no surprise his footballing ability is degrading. We should not be criticising him now, when he’s at the near end of his career, more than when he was say, in his prime. It’s natural occurrence, and I say let us just enjoy the last dances of these 2 players that have etched their legacy in the history books ❤❤❤ Great vid as always vizor man 🎉❤

I saw the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup in Barcelona in 2017. Messi and Ronaldo both played. I'm obviously not saying Messi isn't great but on that evening, IMO Ronaldo was the best player on the pitch, and you have to bear in mind some of the other massive names there too (Suarez, Iniesta, Benzema, Bale, Kroos, Ramos...) Ronaldo scored and then got sent off. In reaction, he took his shirt off and strolled around showing off his abs to the whole of the Nou Camp. He loved being the villain that night. Complete showman. Class act and made it an evening to remember. You cannot deny he is one of the greats.

When Ronaldo and Messi end their journey only then many will understand what they have missed and what cannot and will take centuries to repeat. People criticise Cristiano because he has put out there astronomical numbers performances records showmanship he has terrorised teams traumatised fans to the point that many have desensitised to the realities of a what it means to be an elite player therefore haters are happy to see him retired and thats what fear does and thats how dangerous he is to all his opponents but a supreme athlete beloved to those who recognise greatness .

Thats the sad thing in 2021 he was top 3 strikers in the world , in 2022 he really wasnt a top class striker anymore and that cant be physical decline , its mental .

I agree, that 2nd season at United broke him. Especially when Bruno even went to to say they are better without him publicly 😭

[@claudecarlyle9284]

Firstly, he wasn't a top 3 striker in 2021. Lewandowski, Kane, Benzema off top of my head; Haaland was almost there...and Ronaldo was making teams worse even at Juve. And I know you'll say that Ronaldo scored more than Kane, but look at xG, shots-per-goal, how many games those goals came in and against who, the droughts, opportunity cost...Also ignoring Salah, Son, Mbappe as goalscoring forwards rather than pure strikers. Secondly, it's a physical decline. Messi after WC was burned out. Look at him 12 months after; injuries creeping up on him, doesn't recover from games as quick. Messi knew his powers were waning after 2019 and cleverly prioritised international football while mostly coasting in Paris. I remember reading numerous journalists and biographers a decade ago predicting that Ronaldo would struggle to negotiate his physical decline and retirement based on their observations of his personality, and they've been vindicated.

Fuck all of you, you judge Cristiano and tell him to abandon his life's work and biggest passion in favor of what? Memories of better times, pictures and media headlines?

The records and the achievements of old helped, but this desire and fire Ronaldo has is what made him my GOAT. There will come another talent who wins 8 ballon d'ors and a World Cup and whatnot, but there will never be another man who built himself and fought tooth and nail to keep himself as one of the greats in football.

[@gewnurb]

it isn't that, it's all mental, he might be 39 but his body is still good enough for football, but his mind isn't. Ronaldo in 2020 and 2021 was one of the world's top strikers at Juventus and Man United, he delivered every single matchday and carried both of these teams when he was already over the age of 35, but then 2022 came, the disrespect started, from the manager, from the players, from the staff, from the fans... when his son died, it broke him, and Liverpool fans cared more about that than anybody else, more than the united fans and more than the whole team. The constant disrespect made him feel like he wasn't good enough, like age was getting to him, when just a few years before he was one of the best strikers in the world. He then went to Piers Morgan for the interview, and he didn't step down, he said everything he had going around his mind, everything about Man United and everything about himself. Then he went to the world cup, jobless and hopeless, people thought that would be his last tournament, the pressure was there... then he got benched against Switzerland for Gonçalo Ramos, and it worked, Ramos scored a hattrick, this also added to his mind, did Portugal still need him? Man United clearly didn't, what if Portugal didn't either? what if he wasn't good enough anymore? Then the game against Morocco arrived, Ronaldo didn't start against Morocco, and we know what happened, Gonçalo Ramos disappeared completely, and when they needed Ronaldo the most, he was there... on the bench, wondering if it was over for him, if he was good enough, if he had failed his country, and sure enough, Portugal lost. He tried to find a new club all around Europe, but no one was willing to take him on his wages, so the question got to him once again, was he good enough? He had to go to Saudi Arabia, and the situation did get better, he was scoring goals there and his mind was getting back on track, but the question still remained the same, was he good enough? The Saudi League isn't particularly difficult, and he played well in the euro qualifiers so he was gonna start for Portugal in the euros, was this his opportunity to redeem himself? To show that he was still good enough for the european level? And as we all know, it wasn't... The pressure got to him, he missed the penalty and with it his hope of proving himself on the big stage vanished, he got knocked out, no goals, he had failed his country once again. In the end, he didn't fail his country, and he's still good enough, but he doesn't think that, these last 2 years with the amount of hatred and doubt from literally everyone made Ronaldo think he wasn't good enough, and like he himself said, if you don't believe you will achieve anything, you won't. So Ronaldo won't ever go back to that form he had even when he was old, he will never go back to being good enough for Europe, not because of his age, but because of his mentality, it was broken since 2022 but this is the final nail in the coffin, all his confidence is gone, and sure, he can score in the Saudi League, but if he comes back to the International stage in 2026, he will crumble under the pressure once again. sorry for the essay 💀

United gave him compassionate leave in 2022, still paying him £2m a month, and he used that time to try to broker a transfer away behind their backs. He even fell out with his loyal servant and PR Guru Jorge Mendes over it and eventually sacked him.

And that's not the debate with highest scorers. Those players - like Bican or Helmchen - did play professional football. The debate is whether regional leagues should count or not. Some would argue that they should count if a player with the profile of Messi/Ronaldo can go to USA/Saudi...others would restrict it to major leagues relative to their era.

As a Portuguese and as a person who sees ronaldo as a hero, i can say this : Fernando Santos was sacked , not only because we played poorly with the players that we had , but because he tried to create a future for Portugal without ronaldo . The criteria of the search for the new Portugal coach only had one goal : make sure that was not an issue with ronaldo start every ,single , game. I love ronaldo , i truly do , and i think he is a lot better this last games that people painted it to be , but lets face it : he is not nearly as good as he was.

[@imempty.]

I love how people say that Cristiano Ronaldo is "broken" after not being able to score a penalty or freekicks, like it's easy to score them, how many times did big players miss a penalty? Ronaldo has not missed a single penalty in two years, let him have a bad game after not having one for ages. You people are so disrespectful, Ronaldo is 39 years old how do you imagine him scoring every single freekick in every single match? And the fact that he cries more on public than ever before, it's because the whole world can't stop mocking him, even BBC mocked him with the "Misstiano Penaldo", what can you expect but tears and nerves from Ronaldo. Matter fact, even Messi is not performing like he used to in this Copa, Ronaldo's and Messi's stats are equal in these competitions. Grow up and stop expecting insane performance from Ronaldo in every single match in the freaking EUROS.

[@declangaming24]

I like Ronaldo he's a legend but the guy is earning £3.4M per week he's earning all that cash playing in the Saudi retirement league I think CR7 still has something left in the tank at 39 years old he still can score goals although against Saudi players. If he makes it to the 2026 world he will be in his early 40s.

Ronaldo was rubbish the whole game, AGAIN. No goals so far this tournament is exposing him for what he is, a passenger who relies on his team for his own glory. Hes been doing this since Madrid and luckily he had the team around him back then to support his personal glory and achievements but ever since hes left weve seen it more and more. Even his Juventus teamates are documented saying that they regressed as a team because they felt they had to accomodate to Ronaldo. Madrid winning 2 CLs and league titles after he left says EVERYTHING. He was the icing on the cake but the team has never been lost without him. He didnt elevate Juventus nowhere near to levels that were expected and Man Utd won 2 trophies the moment he left. Even Portugal on their most important night in the euros won it without him on the pitch. Im not saying that Ronaldo wasnt a phenomenal player but his fanbase and media have often made everybody believe that hes done most of it on his own when in reality hes always been at the best teams in every league he has played in and every single team somehow or some way has had to tweak it to accomodate for him. Now youre seeing how its having a negative effect on Portugal, without goals this guy is a just above average player who relies more on his team than they rely on him and thats been the truth since his latter days at Madrid.

People gonna question his legacy but remember, Roberto Carlos was playing in the Greek, Russian, and Indian Leagues at the later half of his career. Forlan was playing in the Japanese, Uruguayan, Indian, and in the Hong Kong league. Del Piero was playing in the Indian and Australian Leagues. Nesta ended off his career in the Indian and American leagues. What I am trying to say is that Ronaldo will be remembered for his prime rather than the later ending seasons of careers of legends that I mentioned.

The problem is, Ronaldo isn’t helping the team off the ball and his link up play is mediocre at best. When he isn’t scoring it’s like playing with 10 men. He just needs to retire before things get even uglier.
