Fans Urge Portugal to Move On from Ronaldo After Tame Win Over Nigeria
Portugal secured a 2-1 friendly victory over Nigeria in their final warm-up before the 2026 World Cup, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s quiet display at age 41 has sparked fresh debate on his place in the squad. Goals from Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceição sealed the win, while Ronaldo failed to register a shot on target or an assist, drawing criticism on social media and calls for Portugal to blood younger attackers. With Ronaldo hinting that this tournament will be his last, the Seleção now prepare to face DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia in a group stage where fresh legs could prove decisive.
