Ronaldo was subjected to a ‘political ban’ at World Cup, says Turkish President

The Portugal captain didn’t make the starting line-up in the team’s two knockout games for ‘political reasons’.

Cristiano Ronaldo was subjected to a ‘political ban’ at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Despite picking Ronaldo in the line-up for all three Group H games, Fernando Santos benched the five-time Ballon d’Or winner for the knockout stages. The then-Portugal manager elected Goncalo Ramos as his starting striker instead.

Portugal reached the quarter-finals, but crashed out of the World Cup in a shock 1-0 defeat to Morocco.

Ronaldo reported to sign eyewatering Al-Nassr deal

It has been quite an eventful 2022/23 campaign so far for Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Having failed to secure a move away from Manchester United over the summer after his dream return to Old Trafford began to turn sour, there were a number of flare ups this season that had fans of the Red Devil’s concerned.

Issues over pre-season attendance, Ronaldo was clearly frustrated even when he played given his demeanour in heading straight down the tunnel at the end of games, and even his refusal to come on as a substitute in the game against Tottenham Hotspur was not the final straw, as he was subsequently handed the arm band in an effort to rebuild some bridges but that was always going to be akin to rolling the roulette wheel at https://www.slotozilla.com/uk/free-spins.

How does betting on sports work?

Some people are curious about how sports betting works, especially with the World Cup taking place in Qatar. So, we will show you the ropes of sports betting.

Sports betting: How does it work?

A “double chance” is another option. In this case, you bet on two out of three possible results: a home win, a draw, or an away win. Many players believe that the odds of winning are lower with a double chance.
