Ronaldo Says He Played and Scored with Injury to Help Portugal Win Nations League Final
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he played the UEFA Nations League final with an injury. After helping Portugal secure a win over Spain on Sunday, the 40-year-old said he felt the injury during the warm-up but decided to push through because the match was too important to miss.
Speaking to reporters, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said he would have played even with a broken leg for his country. “I had been feeling it for some time during the warm-up,” Ronaldo explained. “But for the national team, if I had to break a leg, I’d still go out there. It’s a trophy. I gave everything I had and even scored a goal.”
He added that despite the pain, he forced himself to keep going because representing his country means pushing beyond limits. Ronaldo’s goal helped Portugal draw 2-2 with Spain after extra time, before they triumphed 5-3 in the penalty shootout at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
