Captain armbands and Cristiano Ronaldo are not a good matchup. After throwing his armband in a World Cup qualifier against Serbia just a couple months ago, the Juvenus forward did it again last night, but this time with an upgrade – he even kicked the armbrand! After a narrow 1-0 defeat from Belgium, in which Portugal had more chances and shots, but still crashed out of the competition in which they are still champions, Ronaldo knelt in the middle of the pitch at La Cartuja and the captain’s armband again ‘paid’ Ronaldo’s fury. Afterwards, Ronaldo got up, was greeted by several opponents, and headed to the changing rooms. Then the forward dropped the captain’s armband again and, visibly frustrated, kicked it. The member of the Portuguese staff then picked it up, with Ronaldo visibly annoyed with him. Portugal gugur dari Piala Eropa 2020 usai dikalahkan Belgia, Cristiano Ronaldo lempar dan banting ban kapten 😡😡(via @Salahuldien) pic.twitter.com/zS1vAbCotC— KAPTEN_KASKUS (@kapten_kaskus) June 28, 2021 Ronaldo exits Euro 2020 as the top scorer at the moment on five, as well as tied with former Iran striker Ali Daei’s all-time international goalscoring record (109). With his 14 total European Championship goals, he is the top scorer in the history of the competition. With 109 overall for Portugal’s senior side, the No.7 has matched Ali Daei as the all-time leading scorer in international football. But, this competition is over for him. Again, there was no proper reaction either from coach Fernando Santos, or from the Portuguese press. The coach said that Ronaldo was a ’true captain’ and spoke about the unlucky exit from the EURO 2020. Ronaldo’s castaway armband to be auctioned to help suffering baby”There are players crying in the changing room. They gave everything. Belgium had 6 shots, we had 29. Sincerely I don’t have many words. We believed if we won this one, we would have gone on to win the next one. They scored, we didn’t. It’s football. The players gave everything. They were tired but found energy. I picked Palhinha to try and freshen up the team. The same with Dalot over Semedo, who has been very good in training” said Portugal boss. Whose title is it? We don’t know yet – but it’s not Ronaldo’sAfter the Euro 2020 early exit, Ronaldo will now have time to focus on his Juventus career. The Portuguese has said a couple of times that he will think about his future in Italy after EURO. Juventus and a new coach Massimiliano Allegri wouldn’t be so sad if Ronaldo would to quit The Old Lady, as it would give them enough financial muscle to buy some other players who are on their wish list. As for the armband, luckily, Ronaldo was not a captain at Juventus, no need to worry.
