In the match against Serbia in the second leg (March 27), Portugal took a 2-0 lead thanks to a double from Diogo Jota in the 11th and 36th minutes. A day when Ronaldo was lackluster, combined with a lack of concentration in defense, gave Mitrovic and Kostic the opportunity to score an equalizer in the 46th and 60th minutes.
After the match, former defender Jose Enrique posted a status mocking Ronaldo on Instagram:
"MOTOR: Jota is injured. Jota suffered a back injury after carrying both Penaldo and Penandes on his shoulders. Is anyone shocked by this information? ".
Ronaldo being mocked and criticized on social media is not uncommon. According to Sport, the Portuguese superstar read the above status and was not very interested. Because with his ability to play football, the 36-year-old player is always the center of attention every time he plays. In addition to having a very high penalty kick skills, Ronaldo also contributes greatly to the overall playing style of the club and the national team level.
In the recent match against Serbia, Ronaldo had a shot to defeat Serbia goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic from close range. Captain Stefan Mitrovic then tried to run back to clear the ball. Although the ball had rolled past the goal line, both the linesman and the main referee determined that there were no goals for Ronaldo and Portugal.
The Portuguese captain was " robbed" of a goal to help the home team win, so he threw the captain's armband onto the field.
