India kerala.. Cr7🐐🇵🇹🔥
He should play in the middle east.
Its clear what the media is trying to do
This is what happens when people will look at excel sheet and decide the fate of people. People come to watch football for entertainment and sport spirit which unfortunately ladder climbers will not understand.
just remove this channel lol
Media can't have enough of CR7🥳🥳
I see him always on the offside during this world cup.
Ronaldo is the hero of football game
Now everyone's been talking about Ronaldo, even Wion decides to take a break from ukraine invasion report and shift the attention to the GOAT of football. It's true when he said," I'm the best in the world".
Cr7 best, coach is blah blah.dirty coach
I Am CR9's Fan…

I Would Say He Plays For Himself And Records…
Just Like Sachin Tendulkar…

The sad thing is CR7 could win the world cup without playing anymore of the games. They don't need him to play but need his inspiration…I am a Messi fan but hae respect for him
Portugal as a team so talented, should have won world cup long time ago, but could not scored because of this selfish goal scorer(hero of media). Thanks Manchester boss who cracked the case and opened eyes of everybody.
This happens when you don’t know when to call it quit. Is always better to retire when u have reached ur peak or else u end up embarrassing urself
What is happening to this GOAT
For Ronaldo's career, I believe it is the beginning of its end.
Cr7🐐🔥…🇮🇳💞💞💞💞kerala…
Cr7…🐐🇵🇹….🇮🇳💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Everything had to come to an end doesn't matter how fabulous it is
Respect Ronaldo and long life to you.
Disperected the best they've ever had! Go home Portugal, you losers. You will never have another Ronaldo because you don't deserve him.
plz change the coach he is not good person bcz he is seat ronaldo on the bench.
YOU VIOLATE NUREMBERG CODE DENOUNCED.
Coach Santos was being strategic with his choice to the bench Ronaldo… look at the results of the game and see. The real footage shows CR7 supporting his team mates. The media is constantly trying to find controversial news.. I'm disappointed in this headline.
He is trash and even his team doesn't want him.😁
Wion, hello indian, did you add the word anymore?your mind is corrupted PhD permanent head damaged
It’s sad day when Ronaldo is benched… same thing with Messi and Neymar playing in France.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…)
All good things must come to an end! 😌
i promise Without cristiano Ronaldo portugal can't play world cup 2022 please don't forget … To Touch him if they are not respect him i sure portugal will never win, God bless cristiano Ronaldo
And still he is the one giving you head lines I hate this new wion that's was bought I think by the whites …who can some one who is not wanted to a follow that is more than all premier league teams combined
