Cristiano Ronaldo commented on the disallowed goal and his substitution in the match against Croatia at the 2026 World Cup.
Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo spoke out about the disallowed goal and his substitution during the 2026 World Cup round of 16 match against Croatia, which ended 2-1 in favor of the Portuguese. In response to a journalist's question about what made him more upset: the disallowed goal or the substitution, Ronaldo said: "I get more upset when I'm not selected as a starter", according to Fabrizio Romano, who shared the statement on his social network.
In the 61st minute, referee Espen Eskås disallowed a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo for offside. However, the star did not give up and scored a penalty that tied the game in the 68th minute. Ronaldo was substituted in the 81st minute of the match. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is being held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. The current world champion is Argentina, who beat France in the final of the 2022 tournament, in an exciting game that ended 3-3 in regulation time, but Argentina prevailed in the penalty shootout, winning 4-2.
