First comment. Cristiano Ronaldo breaks his silence after Congolese disappointment

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has broken his silence to speak after their disappointing draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo to kick off his side’s 2026 World Cup campaign.

Portugal entered Wednesday’s match at NRG Stadium as favorites to win, but… They lost in the opening matches of the 11th group with a score of 1-1.

Ronaldo had a disappointing performance in the match and failed to score, which would have made him the only player to score in 6 different editions of the World Cup.

Despite this, Saudi captain Al-Nasri posted a positive message through his accounts on social media platforms, in which he urged them to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.

The 41-year-old football player wrote: “It wasn’t the start we were hoping for, but there’s still a long way to go and nothing is over yet. We have to keep our heads up and focus on the next match.”

The European team is preparing to meet newcomer Uzbekistan in the second round of the group next Tuesday evening.
