📹 सीआर7 ने मेस्सी के सवाल को नजरअंदाज करते हुए खुलकर बात की: मैं रिटायर जैसा लग रहा था

On Tuesday (23), Cristiano Ronaldo "made his debut" at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With two goals in the 5-0 thrashing of Uzbekistan, CR7 seemed relieved after a "dark week."

"It was a difficult, dark week. It felt like I was already retired from football. But I held on, like I always do, because I believe in work more than anything else."

The outburst was not just a response to his below-par display in the first match, when he failed to score against DR Congo.

After all, there had been plenty of reports about alleged off-field issues between Portugal's players and Big Robot.

"I knew my teammates were going to help me too. It was difficult, I have to admit, but we're back. I'm very happy."

Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo responded about becoming the first player in history to score in six different World Cup editions.

"Records are always nice to break, but my goal is to help the national team achieve its objectives. The most important thing was the team's work and the confidence we had."

😅 Abrupt cut-off

Portugal's post-thrashing interview, however, also had a "tense" moment.

And it happened just as a journalist (who was speaking in Spanish) was about to ask Cristiano Ronaldo about the records Messi broke at the 2026 World Cup.

The Portuguese star gave the reporter a sharp "cut-off," and he didn't even get to ask the question.

When another journalist took his turn and asked if he could ask a question, CR7 didn't hold back.

"That depends on the question, otherwise I won't answer you."

And, so people couldn't say Cristiano Ronaldo didn't even want to "hear" Messi's name, Portugal's icon spoke about a possible World Cup final against Argentina.

"I don't know what to answer. It's a question that doesn't make much sense. But, well, it would be top."
