Gavi Backs Ronaldo as Portugal’s Match-Winner Ahead of World Cup Derby

Gavi Backs Ronaldo as Portugal’s Match-Winner Ahead of World Cup Derby

Spain midfielder Gavi has rejected claims that Cristiano Ronaldo has become a tactical burden. He insists the veteran can still decide the planet’s biggest games. Gavi says criticism comes only from analysts and fans outside the Portuguese camp. “Those who work with him have immense respect for him,” he noted. The Barcelona star warned Spain not to underestimate Ronaldo’s impact. He added that elite forwards need just one pocket of space to change a match. Spain and Portugal meet on Monday in a knockout clash for a World Cup quarter-final spot.
