‘RESPECTFUL act’: Fans express their admiration for LEGEND CR7’s immediate actions after orchestrating Portugal’s brilliant victory over Czechia.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s first move following Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Czechia in Euro 2024 won over the fans.
Ronaldo became the second-oldest outfield player in the competition’s history when he started Portugal’s inaugural Euro 2024 group stage match.The 39-year-old, who made his debut for his country at Euro 2024 as an 18-year-old, is also the only player to appear for six different European Championships.Although Ronaldo’s individual night wasn’t ideal since he didn’t register a goal, he did play the entire ninety minutes and may have contributed to Diogo Jota’s disallowed goal if he hadn’t been a few millimetres offside during the build-up.
Ultimately, he was left watching as Francisco Conceicao, a replacement, scored his maiden goal for his country on minute 92, sealing a thrilling victory.And Ronaldo made sure to go straight over to the 21-year-old Porto player and give him an embrace as soon as the full-time whistle went off at the Red Bull Arena.One fan replied, writing: “A fantastic winner. His response following Czechia’s goal made me realise that they would still win.”
As another person pointed out, “He’s changed – seems to be nicer when he doesn’t score.”Three people commented, “It means everything.”Ronaldo is particularly touched by the winger’s score because, during his time at Sporting Lisbon, the Al Nassr player faced up against his father, current Porto manager Sergio Conceicao.In a long statement on Twitter prior to the competition,
Ronaldo celebrated becoming the most seasoned player in Euros history and called on Portuguese supporters to get behind him.“Today begins another chapter in our history,” the author stated. I have happy memories of my first day with the national team—a trip that was full of obstacles and successes.”I now have the privilege of working with a talented and driven group of champions.
“We make dreams come true by uniting our strength and support. Together, let’s strive for yet another victory. Joined, we can accomplish anything.”
