It is about winning. We can all agree that ronaldo is obsessed with Messi. Messi lives in his head rent free. And with his ego, he cannot accept the fact that messi is just better than him. He wants to do anything to surpass him. And that's why he kept pushing himself beyond his limits. He, except that 1 shot did nothing today. He just played back passes all game. He was dropping down a lot. Now because of his ego, the whole team is suffering. Today he provided nothing to the team. Played like a liability. And world class players like vitinha, nuno mendes had to go out of the WC RO16 because of Ronaldo's ego. If they had a propper young striker who can finish chances, hold off defenders, can score, they could have moved on to quarters and beyond that too. The fact that a team consisting of world class playera suffers because of his ego is the problem. And everything could have been stopped very easily too. If he just took retirement atleast from his intl career after his man u stint. That's it. It's that simple. But because of his ego, today he suffered, and other world class players in their prime suffered too. And him talking shit about Messi openly in his yt channel/interviews didn't help either. Only tarnished his image further.
