Cristiano Ronaldo had an awkward post-match moment after Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan when he was repeatedly asked about a possible showdown with Lionel Messi instead of Portugal’s performance.
Ronaldo made it clear he wanted the focus to stay on Portugal and the game that had just been played, rather than turning the press conference into another Ronaldo-vs-Messi discussion.
It quickly became one of the most talked-about clips after the match because Ronaldo had just scored twice and made World Cup history, yet the questioning still drifted toward his rivalry with Messi.
His reaction added another viral post-match moment to an already huge night for him.
