Cristiano Ronaldo is broken. 

We are getting old bro, it’s scary

My favorite player, Marcelo, has already disappeared from the world stage 😢

it LEFT ronaldo about 5 year ago

@@italianplastic23dude I swear they are having a genuine talk like shut up

Out of all the brilliant football minds and tacticians to exist, bro chose to quote Ronaldo's and Real Madrid's biggest perennial hater. Excellent research dude

That quote will forever stay with me man, it’s actual poetry

@@Vizehcan you make the same video for Messi

@@Mecofmecsunlike ronaldo, messi has seen he can’t do what he could in the past and has adjusted to it, relying less on athletic ability and more on technique, so there would be no point as of right now

@@titanslammer they both have one assist and ones played 2 more games bc euros started earlier 💀also Messi is three years younger. Bros been “adjusting” since he left Barca and he hasn’t had a significant injury like Ronaldo did in 2016. Ronaldo has adapted since then. Bros playing better defenders and they are still doubling him I wonder why 💀 teams/coaches/defenders/pudits know Ronaldo still has it. That’s the reason we’re speaking on Ronaldo when Messi has the same stats 🤷🏽‍♂️ fifa chose Messi, the world chose Ronaldo.

Only messi did, Ronaldo was carried by papa perez

Too easy bro

​@@mikelbaningo6407Ronaldo was killing it in the Premier League years before 'Papa Perez' was even in the picture

​@Mihai769 at least we wouldn't win titles by the refs

Ronaldo is still obsessed with messi that he literally doesn't want to leave😂 he wants win win something to add to his legacy because he knows no one rates Saudi pro league 😂

Forgot euros are somehow related to Saudi, Messi fans and their dumbness never fail

@@mikelbaningo6407 he is obssessed with the game not messi , he worked hard his whole life it's difficult for him to just retire , football is his life

Right now, he's desperately trying to win the World Cup. He's trying to close that gap with Messi so he can be considered as the GOAT, but he clearly has nothing left in the tank.

@@user-fp8vl3mb2i he can still leave the pitch and still be in football

He performed great in qualifiers but against lower nations it’s hard to call what that actually means for proper games really

@@Vizeh Very few players score a crazy amount of goals in the big international tournaments. Kane has always been underwhelming in these tournaments (despite being leading goal scorer in the last euros I think), Rooney always used to get criticised, Messi before the last World Cup (with penalties galore) had an underwhelming record in major international tournaments. Ronaldo has played well, his link up play has been good and if he gets proper chances he will score. He used to miss sitters even at his peak (like every player including Messi). So magnifying everything in this tournament does not necessarily mean he is finished.

​​@@stretfordendredRonaldo hasn't played well in this tournament. Just accept the fact that he isn't good enough anymore

@@stretfordendredwouldn’t really call messi’s international career before he won the World Cup underwhelming, considering he made 3 finals whilst usually scoring lots of goals and assisting a lot aswell. The only truly underwhelming tournaments would be wc 2010 and wc 2018

Martinez was signed to play ronaldo, if you think playing a 39 yo ronaldo for around 400 minutes, especially against georgia when you're rotating the rest of the squad is normal I dunno what to tell you, to me it's pretty obvious Ronaldo controls the national team, especially if you consider the last manager was sacked after famously dropping ronaldo in that world cup, ramos scoring 3, and the media starting to ask if he should be the starter for portugal

Exactly that mate

his problem is the obsession and jealousy he has over messi that he can't get over. if you notice since world cup 2022, ronaldo has been more emotional. even crying in meaningless camel league matches, and now recently the so-called "mentality monster" cried like a baby even though there was 15 mins left. i think when messi lifted the world cup trophy in 18 december 2022 and knowing ronaldo's obsession and jealousy.. something snapped inside of ronaldo that night for sure.

the only logical explanation for ronaldo refusing to retire is because he knows he must win both euro 2024 and world cup 2026 to overtake messi's international accomplishments. as it stands, messi has 1 world cup and 1 copa america, while ronaldo has only 1 euro. if he wins this euro, it will not be enough to equal messi, so he needs to win the world cup also. that's all considering messi doesn't win anymore tournaments. i think ronaldo crying after missing the pen was him realizing that his deluded

@@NandoFIT-df8ly nah he cried because his mother cried

​@@HIROXYZF2 types of human being : the over simplifier and the reading too deep into it.

And the worst part is that it’s true, if they got knocked out that will forever be a stain on him. It’s a cold world out there man

@@Vizeh It's the worst part about sports I feel. Star athletes aren't allowed to grow old because of their own legacies. They're expected to always be at the level they were in their prime and anything less is somehow betraying their fans. It's brutal

@@Vizeh I agree with you. But with his experience and being captain, I thought crying before the end of the game was not a good look nor good for the morale of the team in the middle of a match.

Yeah so they can start the legendary goncalo ramos 😂😂

He has to retire, he's not a young man anymore if he leaves football he'll leave knowing he's made history as a player before he continues playing and spoils his career

He had 1 bad game against Slovenia. But I don’t see you talking about lukaku or mbappe or griezman as well as the Whole English team who had terrible performances so far.

For me Ronaldo is the 🐐, but respect Messi as a football Player.

I think how crazy that is will go under the radar. Also it’s not like he completely skied the penalty, the save from oblak was unbelievable

That’s nothing special really. Even if the team’s penalty taker misses one in the match, he’ll still take either the first one or the last one in the shootouts. This is how it has been forever. Stop hyping up perfectly normal things.

That’s some sad stuff man

I completely agree, like international football is Ronaldo's only chance to add anything to his legacy now he is playing in Saudi. So having back to back international performances like these literally hurt his legacy. I can only hope that Portugal somehow, literally somehow manage to win the tournament

​@@Electricc__sorry but they somehow literally can't 😂 Ronaldo should have retired at juve😂 he hasn't won any major trophy since 2021

“Salvage what’s left of his legacy” What are you talking about? He’s widely acknowledged as one of the top 2 players of all time.

​@@choke9270 but his last 3-4 seasons were shit

Super sub at this point.

@@JJJ_999 yeoo. And there is no shame in it, Age catches up to everyone.

They never should have started him against Georgia. The game didn’t matter much and he’s 39. If you are going to use him, and want to get the most out of him, you have to rest him…even if he doesn’t want to or claims he is fresh.

@@redstone5062 🍻

As if Ramos or Joao felix are better? They literally don’t play regularly for their clubs ☠️ Ronaldo played very well most of the games this tournament, he only lacks goals

I agree with that last statement, Portugal has amazing players, and to stop their success because of one player doesn't matter how great he was, It's just sad. And if Ronaldo doesn't see that, men, then he might be prouder than we thought.

I feel like you're just stating people vs media in there. As a fellow portuguese, most people I see that are invested in football and keeping up with our national team are definitly more critical of the tactics and of other players like Bernardo and Bruno (that are underperforming massibly), than of Ronaldo. Most of us came to accept that he is not the same, but he's still miles ahead of any player in his position. Moreover, many players have come forward criticizing the media for trying to make Ronaldo some kind of egotistical douch that is in the control of the national team and everyone hates him.

@@Kizzshoto how can you even say for sure the other striker options are worse considering they barely played during the qualifiers and maybe once or twice in friendlies? ofc you won't see improvement considering the teams and the tactics are built around having ronaldo as the striker, and while that may work against weaker sides, we're seeing the weaknesses the system has against not even the best teams in the world. a great team isn't built in an instant and we should definetly start considering having someone other than ronaldo as our striker unless he wants to embarass himself at the euros

but i would still start him over ramos though

@@shadowgear921 jota is obvious start...left foot,right foot,incredible in air,dribbles,passes,huge energy to iniitiate press and recover ball in attacking third they are playing from out back through miidfield to break down low block every possession. Ive honestly never seen it certainly not team this good but team is so unbalanced. Only two guys that dont press areleao and ronny and he plays both at onceall tournament. Leao likes open transitioin opposiite of ronny its disaster tactics. Ronaldo isnt a striker he doesnt drag defenders out of box for wingers like morata for spaini. He doesnt playwith back to goal or hold up play for wingers to play off him. He cant get on end of header its just brutal to watch hes my age seen every minute of intl careerI resent that Ive had to see him go through this it will stick to legacy. Martinez has no business coahnig such a talented group its justlike belgium where he enabled hazard as a captain of all things when he had vinicent kompany and debruyne. As manager its your job to save players filled with pride from themselves and make sure they are always in situation to succeed and this has been awful. Bruno had 9 goals and assists n qualiyinig led all of europe hes had 3 shots and cant create because CR is in box in between two centerbacks there is no space. Silva and leao drift in and bruno is creative heartof attack. Im hopeful ronaldo finds some grace and allows these guys toplay together so team is dangerous and hard to defend against france. Striker has to make runs like a felix, jota, can if they cant play with back to goal and hold up playlike ramos. Ronny wont do either atmoment and hes atend of a 4=2=3=1 last match so everything has to go through him. Its so broken and such a mess. No press either and against france they will have possession and attack unlike slovenia so they will need to press they wont hand you the ball back liem evryone else we faced. Hope it gets better only good thing is cant be any worse its something ive never seen in my life a team this good and deep not play right tactics and not make subs f=when people struggle. Its an F for martinez at moment

I didn’t get the rhetoric of his tears being self serving or egotistical. Was baffling to me he could have let his country down man

“I’d want Ronaldo in a tournament” is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say simply looking at their record in international tournaments.

@@WaddupYT Messi's record before the last World Cup was bad in which he scored penalties galore. Kane, Rooney, Messi before the last World Cup and many other superstars have been criticised in these international tournaments. Ronaldo destroyed every team in the champions league and won Euro 2016 whilst being joint top goalscorer if I remember. Even over an entire season I would take Ronaldo and when both were at their absolute peak Messi always had the better international team mates.

@@stretfordendred 2014 wc pott, 2015 copa pott, 2016 copa no pott but 9 goal contributions, 2021 copa pott, 2022 wc pott. Compared to a 2020 euro top scorer award for Ronaldo. “Penalty galore” Scoring pens in high pressure moments is difficult as Ronaldo showed you against Slovenia.

@@WaddupYT It has always been Di Maria that has been Argentina's best player in the international tournaments and Ronaldo has scored a million high pressure penalties. Ronaldo is far ahead in Champions league knockouts too and Messi was not amazing in the 2014 World Cup either. Either way the metrics upon which people are saying he is finished are flawed. They say Ronaldo only does it against low ranked international team, the majority of Messi's goals come against them too. They say he has missed chances....he used to miss chances at his peak too (he has barely had any clear cut chances this tournament btw). They say he cries...he has always cried. Comparing him to elite strikers at their peak currently? Harry Kane very underwhelming again. Anyone else free scoring in this tournament?

He’s done more for Portugal than anyone from the country.. brought home the euros in 2016 and was only second (barely) to Messi in his entire career.. against people current or retired or dead… this could be his last campaign in a Portuguese kit… he should be allowed every chance he wants

​@@seveng1147Yeah he should be allowed...Lol last time he scored a freekick for major international tournament was 2018 ...Yeah if they didn't change good luck progressing the tournament...58 shots taken and 1 goals for Portugal

@@mrboast2826 he scored twice against France in euro 2020?

@@mrboast2826 I guess the euros aren’t a major international tournament to you..

The more free kicks you take in a game the more likely you are to score. It’s the same with long shots. Most bangers are from trying 2-3 times before which doesn’t get remembered

He’s not the same player, which isn’t a bad thing it’s just life. It’s sad to see

@@VizehBut at the same time Gonaclo Ramos blows

@@Vizeh shut up man

Same thoughts as yours. Being a Messi fan myself it hurts to see CR7 getting a lot a stick. He is human after all and age will always catch up to us regardless of fame and status but if anyone can get out of this as positive it’s definitely Cristiano Ronaldo himself

I agree, I’m more inclined towards Ronaldo, however him and Messi are 1A and 1B. The 2 greatest of all time. Period. No one else comes close, when they retire I hope people put aside their dislike of either one and appreciate the greatness we were able to witness

@@JonathanMajors123 Well. You forget about Joey Beauchamp but otherwise yeah I'd agree, they are stellar footballers and this divisive "love one, hate the other" mentality is just so unnecessary. I hate it that even the BBC fuels this fire with their idiotic "Misstiano Penaldo" caption. Something tells me they wouldn't have expressed similar schadenfreude if it had been Messi...

If the same game happened to messi, the narrative would be completely different I can assure you

I agree, that 2nd season at United broke him. Especially when Bruno even went to to say they are better without him publicly 😭

Firstly, he wasn't a top 3 striker in 2021. Lewandowski, Kane, Benzema off top of my head; Haaland was almost there...and Ronaldo was making teams worse even at Juve. And I know you'll say that Ronaldo scored more than Kane, but look at xG, shots-per-goal, how many games those goals came in and against who, the droughts, opportunity cost...Also ignoring Salah, Son, Mbappe as goalscoring forwards rather than pure strikers. Secondly, it's a physical decline. Messi after WC was burned out. Look at him 12 months after; injuries creeping up on him, doesn't recover from games as quick. Messi knew his powers were waning after 2019 and cleverly prioritised international football while mostly coasting in Paris. I remember reading numerous journalists and biographers a decade ago predicting that Ronaldo would struggle to negotiate his physical decline and retirement based on their observations of his personality, and they've been vindicated.

He dragged a dead juve team to the ucl. Without him , juve wouldn't even reach to 6 in 2021 .​@@claudecarlyle9284

Imo he was world class until the end of his first manchester united season (2021-22). Imo, his downfall started in 2022 (like you said) and yeah, it seems more mental than physical.

to be fair ronaldo didnt traumatize Oblak any less back in the days 😭😭😭😭

He’s likely a hero to all of them, the players that is and the media hassle of dropping him is clearly damaging to the squad too

@@Vizeh he's causing them more harm by starting, doesn't play for the team and ego is 10x bigger than his actual ability right now.

he mustve been just super let down by himself that he couldnt decide the game for his country then and there. people portray him as the selfish AH, but for his country he really fuckin tries. the fact that he cried because of the miss made him more human and relatable imo. someone who wasnt as keen on winning couldve laughed that away, and there are so many athletes with a weaker mentality than him.

@@dinglshingle couldn't agree more with you. There are many people who criticise him but that is routed from jealousy.

The critique in question is people harassing him and telling him he is trash along with demands that he retire. In this sport there never tends to be fair critique that gains any traction.

@@manbutron2232 "Harassing him" nope, not having that, for a start it's been barely 48 hours. He can just do what Harry Maguire has done for the last 4 or 5 years and not look at it instead of seeking it out. He is a billionaire amd possibly the most famous person on the planet right now. If he needs the approval of everyone in the world or anyone on the internet then he is a psychopath. I haven't see a single one say he is trash, but calls for him retire i'll give you. I have seen that. But on that, so what. People said the same about Jude Bellingham (20 years old) after Denmark and Harry Kane. Bet you didn't come to their defence though. On that, have you ever said the same in a Harry Maguire diss? I guarantee not. He has been harassed mercilessly for years. Infact, i'd bet you've made jokes about him too.

@@jordan_roadhouse4798 Nah. Have you checked the other comments along with twitter recently? Theres been a lot of attack on Ronaldo. As for Harry Maguire however, I don’t really watch Manchester United and or make jokes about him since I don’t really know what happens with him but I also believe that he shouldn’t be attacked along with any player really. I don’t think he should seek the approval of everyone, and I don’t think Ronaldo seeking it out like you pose.

He’s way over criticised tho, messi is the media sweetheart. In reality they’re both egotistical and flawed. I think it’s the fact messi isn’t as good looking and flashy makes people think he’s more humble

Yes, his fanboys still believe his physique was all gym and diet....😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 They are deluded dopes.

The problem is, Ronaldo isn’t helping the team off the ball and his link up play is mediocre at best. When he isn’t scoring it’s like playing with 10 men. He just needs to retire before things get even uglier.

@Vizeh true, but giving assists and being a presence in the box and pressing can really benefit a team to perform.better, but I understand your point

His passing has become extremely poor, if you watch the Portugal games closely.
