Portuguese newspapers got giddy about a first World Cup quarter-final in 16 years instead of Ronaldo. What the actual f***?
utterly flabbergasted by the fact that their Portuguese equivalents have decided to concentrate on the actual football – Portugal did win a World Cup knock-out game 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2006, after all – rather than the man on the bench.
Well, they don’t completely IGNORE him because Ronaldo is mentioned on every single Portuguese front page; they just chose to concentrate on the player who actually scored a hat-trick. It’s blowing their minds. ‘Sulking Cristiano Ronaldo was nowhere to be found on the front papers of Portugal’s newspapers on Wednesday as the press toasted ‘the day the team gave itself to youth’.’
He was not ‘nowhere to be found’ as he was mentioned on every single front page; they just decided a hat-trick scored to take Portugal to their first World Cup quarter-final in 16 years was more important. Because it‘Ramos, the hat-trick hero, dominated Wednesday’s front pages, whereas the team’s biggest star – Ronaldo – was ignored after being relegated to the bench.
