Cristiano: We Lacked Nothing, This is Football
The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo made brief comments on the 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the opening match of the two teams in the 2026 World Cup.
Ronaldo said in the mixed zone in Houston after the match: "We lacked nothing in this game. That's football; Portugal could have won, but they could have also lost."
The Portuguese star did not deliver the expected performance during the match, as he missed several clear scoring opportunities. Ronaldo appeared to be extremely frustrated after the game, which was held at NRG Stadium.
The Portuguese national team is scheduled to face Uzbekistan on Tuesday, June 23, in the second round of the group stage of the World Cup.
