You can’t win the World Cup with Ronaldo on the bench!

Legendary Luis Figo has criticized Portugal coach Fernando Santos for his decision to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.

Ronaldo was not in the starting lineup against Switzerland when the Portuguese won 6:1. The match against Morocco also started from the bench, so even his second-half entry did not help Portugal move forward.

“You can’t win the World Cup with Ronaldo on the bench. Okay, you got Switzerland. Excellent result. But can you do it every game? No.

Leaving Ronaldo on the bench is a big mistake. “The blame for this defeat lies with the coach and his professional staff,” said Luis Figo.
