The I’m going to tell Piers Morgan meme gets real as Cristiano Ronaldo texted Piers Morgan after his goal against Uruguay
Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, scored twice to lead Portugal to a 2-0 victory.
Ronaldo’s headed goal in the 54th minute was previously thought to have been the game’s first goal. As soon as the ball went into Sergio Rochet’s goal, the 37-year-old turned around and celebrated.

Ronaldo was given credit for the goal, but replays were unable to establish whether he actually touched the ball. Ten minutes before Portugal was given a last-minute penalty, Ronaldo was replaced. Five-time Ballon d’Or winner now in charge, Fernandes stepped up and led Portugal into the 2022 World Cup knockout rounds.

Alexi Lalas, a former American international, stated the following on Fox Sports:
“Breaking news is that Cristiano Ronaldo did not score, despite his claims that it did touch him.
“I was just with Piers Morgan. He said that Cristiano texted him from the locker room saying he believes that it touched his head. Who knows…”

The meme first attained popularity after Ronaldo gave Morgan a controversial interview, which ultimately resulted in his departure from Manchester United earlier this month with “Mutual” consent.
Unsurprisingly, Morgan has demanded that Portugal’s first goal against Uruguay be given to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo touched that ball,” the broadcaster insisted. “He should be awarded the goal.”

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner tore into the Red Devils and how they treated him in a fiery interview with Morgan ahead of the World Cup. The first snippet of the explosive interview occurred just hours after United defeated Fulham by a score of 2-1 without him.
In the interview, Ronaldo criticised the Glazers, the club’s former leader Ralf Rangnick, club legends Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, as well as United manager Erik ten Hag, indicting the Dutchman of showing “disrespect,” and that’s where it all started.
