Cristiano Ronaldo motivates Joao Moutinho in a penalty shootout, the video resurfaces

Cristiano Ronaldo is from another planet. Indeed, if we do not want to relaunch the debate between the Portuguese and Leo Messi, CR7 still managed to put his country on the roof of Europe. If a few days ago, André-Pierre Gignac spoke about his shot on the post in the final of Euro 2020 which prevented him from sleeping, Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammates have not forgotten them either, but we certainly slept much better. In the final, the five-time Ballon d’Or could not play due to an injury. If his attitude on the sidelines had made the buzz, a sequence during a penalty shoot-out is also worth the detour.

“Shows personality”

Like all the nations of Europe, Portugal started its qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup on Wednesday. Like the France team, guilty of a very feverish performance against Ukraine, the teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo hardly beat Azerbaijan by the score of 1 goal to 0. The Portuguese will do everything to qualify and go to Qatar. For the Juventus forward, this could well sound like his last appearance in the biggest competition of Football global.

Once again, the player should be the headliner, the leader of his team as he was able to be during Euro 2016. Indeed, during the quarter-final of the competition, Portugal faces Poland Robert Lewandowski.

At the end of regulation time and extra time, the score is 1 everywhere and the two teams must decide between themselves in a penalty shoot-out. As a leader, Cristiano Ronaldo will motivate Joao Moutinho to take responsibility. We let you discover the video below:

Internet users draw a parallel with Leo Messi

Obviously, Internet users have not failed to make the link between Portuguese and Argentinian.

It must be said that Portugal were not the favorite team on paper but managed to win the title. If for the reasons we know Euro 2020 will finally be played in 2021, the Portuguese are the title holders and will do everything to keep their trophy. On social networks we read:

• “This is one of the arguments which makes him ahead of Messi for the rank of ‘GREATEST player of all time'”
• “You have a leader like that, they boost your mind. A champion at heart, an inspiration for the youth …”
• “He’s the best in the world”
• “Cristiano has a leadership attitude who takes responsibility not like the FC Barcelona dwarf”
• “Cristiano has always been able to pull his teammates up. If Messi has reached such a level it is thanks to CR7 not his talent”
