Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend, Georgina RodrÃguez, commented on Portugal’s recent World Cup victory against Switzerland. The Selecao have recorded a 6-1 victory against the Swiss, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Coach Fernando Santos sent captain Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench for the game. Goncalo Ramos, who replaced the former Manchester United attacker, scored a hat-trick during the match. Pepe, Raphael Guerriero and Rafael Leao were also among the goals for the European team.
Georgina RodrÃguez shared her thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo’s omission from Portugal’s World Cup squad against Switzerland in a FIFA World Cup match.
On her Instagram profile, she wrote: “While the 11 players sang the anthem all the goals put on you. What a pity that he was not able to enjoy the 90 minutes of the best player in the world. The fans have not stopped claiming you and shouting your name. I hope God and your dear friend Fernando hold hands and make us vibrate one more night.”
