Ramos filling Ronaldo’s footsteps
Goncalo Ramos had been pushed into the eye of the storm earlier, but it was Portugal’s 21-year-old striker who brought the thunder, propelling his side into the World Cup quarterfinals. In an unexpected maiden World Cup start in place of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Benfica forward scored a superb hat-trick in a 6-1 thrashing of Switzerland to set up a Saturday clash with Morocco.
Ramos, nicknamed “Pistoleiro” for his gun-toting celebration, catapulted into the world football awareness despite just making his Portugal debut in a late tune-up friendly against Nigeria.
