Fans believe Cristiano Ronaldo ‘lie’ has been proven wrong after what he did against Turkey at Euro 2024

Ronaldo Silences Critics with Unselfish Play Against Turkey at Euro 2024

Cristiano Ronaldo’s unselfish assist in Portugal’s 3-0 victory over Turkey at Euro 2024 has left football fans rethinking their views on the superstar’s reputation.

On Saturday, Portugal secured first place in Group F and advanced to the last 16 with a decisive 3-0 win over Turkey. Despite a shaky start in their 2-1 victory against Czechia, Roberto Martinez’s team demonstrated their potential in Dortmund.

Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva opened the scoring, followed by an own goal from Turkey. Speculation about Ronaldo’s starting position for Portugal was put to rest as he was included in the lineup for both group matches.

The 39-year-old made a significant impact against Turkey by providing an unselfish assist to Bruno Fernandes for Portugal’s third goal. Known for his goal-scoring prowess, Ronaldo, with 895 senior goals to his name, chose to pass rather than score himself, challenging his reputation for selfishness.

Fans took to social media to express their surprise and admiration. One fan on X remarked, “Did I actually see that right? Cristiano not ramming that ball straight in,” while another noted, “Even the commentator was surprised when he passed.”

This moment has led many to believe that Ronaldo has disproved the notion of him being a selfish player. One fan celebrated the Al-Nassr star’s team spirit, saying, “Team first! That’s why he’s the best in the world,” and another added, “Yet they say he’s selfish…”

With top spot in the group secured, Portugal will face Georgia in their final group match on Wednesday, where Ronaldo might be given a rest.
