Cristiano Ronaldo has been garnering headlines with his outstanding performances for Al Nassr. Nevertheless, following CR7’s early exit from the international campaign, his fellow compatriot has now snubbed him for the county’s top scorer. Furthermore, the soccer player in the limelight was quick to highly regard a rival club’s striker for his illustrious sense of the game and skill in both domestic and international fixtures.

Ronaldo has netted 123 goals while earning 201 caps at the international level. However, according to the Liverpool forward, it’s another teammate who is “one of the most intelligent”.

Who was chosen over Cristiano Ronaldo and why?

Liverpool’s Portuguese attacker, Diogo Jota, commended Bernardo Silva for his gameplay and a formidable threat in the rival’s offensive zone. The Man City veteran played a pivotal role in forging the treble, including the Champions League in preceding seasons. In the latest interview with Mark Goldbridge’s That’s Football, Jota stated, “Bernardo [Silva], For me, he’s probably one of the most intelligent football guy I’ve ever known and the way he can hide the ball from opponents is special”.

Why did CR7 leave early from the national team?

Cristiano Ronaldo received a yellow card during Portugal’s 1-0 triumph against Slovakia. The referee booked the Portuguese captain for a robust tackle on the rival goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka, during the match. As a result, Ronaldo had no choice but to miss out on the game against his favorite opponents Luxembourg in their next fixture. Nevertheless, Goncalo Ramos scored a brace in the game, replacing the soccer legend in the starting lineup.

The 5x Ballon d’Or moved back to Al Alami following this incident. Accordingly, he is anticipated to lead the Knights of Najd against Al Raed in today’s Saudi Pro League fixture. CR7 had already scored 20 goals in 24 games for Al Nassr and has shrugged off any question doubting his current ability. On the other hand, do you appreciate Jota’s choice of Bernardo Silva over CR7?
