Ronaldo Says Winning for Portugal Matters More Than Scoring Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to defend Portugal’s badge for the rest of his life. Speaking at a press conference before Portugal’s Nations League quarter-final second leg against Denmark on Sunday, Ronaldo made it clear that winning matters more to him than personal glory.
Portugal lost the first leg 1-0 at Parken on Thursday, but Ronaldo stressed that his focus is on helping the team succeed, no matter who scores.
“It’s not about me scoring. I just want Portugal to win. If we win and I don’t even play, I’ll take that,” Ronaldo said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“My focus has always been on defending my country’s badge until I die. I’d be happy if we win tomorrow and someone else gets the goal.” Ronaldo has scored a record-breaking 135 goals for Portugal since his debut in 2003.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.

Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
