क्या पुर्तगाल में रोनाल्डो की समस्या है?

Is it time for Portugal to have a very difficult conversation about Cristiano Ronaldo? The 41-year-old entered his record-extending sixth World Cup as he captained his side against DR Congo. He came into the game knowing that Kylian Mbappe had scored twice the day before. As did Erling Haaland. Better yet, his long-time nemesis, Lionel Messi, notched a hat-trick.

How did Ronaldo respond? He took 29 touches, managed as many shots as Messi had goals, and strolled around with a scowl on his face as his side meandered to a disappointing draw.

As is often the case, Ronaldo was the story.
