A visibly shaken Ronaldo has meanwhile been berated by ardent Portuguese fans for his underwhelming performances recently. Although the player is more than capable of delivering on his day, age has caught up with him with him struggling to remain involved in the thick of things across the 90 minutes.
Ronaldo has endured consummate success on the pitch with Manchester United either with the side dwindling in form across the last couple of months.

Ronaldo will be looking to once again up the ante as he strives to seals Portugal’s progression to the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
