Cristiano Ronaldo, the world-famous footballer and Portugal captain, said that nobody will take his shine because two ‘rats’ from TV that nobody knows criticized him.

The Al-Nassr forward spoke while hitting out at the people criticizing him in recent times.

Recall that Ronaldo recently suffered criticism from pundits and fans over his failure to lead Portugal to glory at the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.

The 39-year-old failed to score a goal at the Euro 2024 as Portugal were eliminated in the knock-out stage.

There were also calls for him to retire from international football and give room to younger players in the Portugal team.

However, speaking on the development on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Ronaldo said: “People always take the worst part, not always the good part. But I’m not going to finish my career because two rats criticise me.

“No one is going to take my shine away because two people from TV that nobody knows criticise me,” he further stated.

Danny Murphy, the former Liverpool midfielder, has criticised Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo for having little or no ‘impact’ in Euro 2024.

Portugal were eliminated from the competition on Friday after losing 3-5 on penalties to France in the quarterfinals.

Ronaldo missed a few big chances during the game, including a crucial shot in the first half of extra time when he shot the ball over the crossbar following a pass from Conceicao in the penalty box.

After his big miss, co-commentator Murphy shared his thoughts on Ronaldo’s performance.

He told the BBC: “I’d be having conversations with the manager. It does seem ridiculous at times that he keeps Ronaldo on when he is having no impact.

“He [Goncalo Ramos] kind of must be thinking, what was he brought here for?” Murphy asked.
