I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo is experiencing the biggest sadness in Portugal because he couldn't be on the field in the match, which was a complete festival. It was a 4-goal match in the first half, and with 5 more goals scored in the second half, Portugal virtually wiped Luxembourg off the field with a total of 9 goals. They still haven't conceded a single goal in the qualifiers, which shows how good they are.
@W Jr. I’m yet surprised that the coach has kept Ronaldo around because he won’t be much use for them and there’s the fact that they play much better when he’s not starting and further Bruno also performs better in his absence hence I guess soon Ronaldo will have to quit playing for Portugal. Lastly Portugal are improving a lot but they need to consistently win but things will chance for them when Ronaldo is back hence what do you’ll think the coach should do i.e. bench Ronaldo or tell him to move on?
Ronaldo's chances of playing would have been higher if he had not accumulated yellow cards, as the coach would have allowed him to play. Ronaldo was not playing caused by he has been suspended due to the card accumulations. I don't know why people are still thinking ronaldo didn't play caused by portugal's coach was not giving him a chance to play. Ronaldo was not feeling so badly by not playing against luxembourg. His ban due to the card accumulations will be lifted, which means that he will be able to play in the upcoming match against the strong nation.
Portugal has been also breaking its old record. The victory against Luxembourg with a score of 9-0 surpassed records from 20 years ago against Kuwait and Liechtenstein.
