Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal Stroll to Victory Over Scotland, but Not Without Drama
In a surreal atmosphere at Hampden Park, Portugal’s superstar Cristiano Ronaldo put on a show for the fans, but it wasn’t all smiles for the legendary forward. A social media frenzy erupted when a video emerged of him taking a thrilling waterslide at the team’s hotel, but when the game kicked off, Ronaldo’s trademark ‘siu’ celebrations were replaced with frustration and disappointment.
Despite his 906 career goals, Ronaldo’s first shot for the Portuguese national team at Hampden Park was an early left-foot strike, but it seemed to go against him as he failed to find the back of the net with all four of his shots on target. The crowd jeered with every missed effort, and even his team-mates were subject to some heated banter from Ronaldo late in the game.
With his sights set on 1,000 career goals, the 37-year-old will be eager to forget this outing, where his normally dependable finishing powers betrayed him. His team, however, will be happy with the three points, which lifted them above the Republic of Ireland and into second place in the group.
