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.

Why I Avoided Ronaldo When I Bumped Into Him – Lampard Opens Up

Frank Lampard, the world-famous England and Chelsea legend, has revealed why he avoided Cristiano Ronaldo on holiday.

Lampard spoke in a chat with BBC Sport.

He said: “I actually bumped into Cristiano Ronaldo on a holiday a few months ago. I was in the same hotel on the beach.

“Unfortunately, his sunspot every day was a bit down from me and I made sure to stay away from him because he was in incredible shape, so I gave him a little bit of distance! I pulled him over as I wanted my son to have a picture because of the player he’s been. I quickly put my t-shirt on and had a nice picture with him.”

The Englishman further explained that the former Real Madrid and Juventus ace had been going to the gym twice with his trainer even on vacation.

“I noticed he was going to the gym twice a day with his personal trainer. Just shows you his dedication to what he does. I might have been sipping a beer watching him and I did give him a ripple of applause as he walked back,” he said

Ronaldo and Lampard will go down as two of football’s greatest players.

Both players faced off several times while playing for Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.

Ronaldo is currently with the Portugal team at EURO 2024 in what could be his last international tournament.
