Cristiano Ronaldo, the royal exploits

Cristiano Ronaldo was once again asked by a fan on the football field for a selfie.

Shortly after Ronaldo gave Portugal a 2-0 lead against Poland, a pitch invader approached the Al-Nassr striker and asked for a selfie. The 39-year-old appeared to tell security to politely move away so his photo could be taken, before the match resumed shortly afterwards.

While such acts probably shouldn’t be encouraged, it didn’t mean much that night as Portugal secured their third victory out of three in this year’s competition with a 3- 1 in Poland. Roberto Martinez’s side could secure a place in the Nations League quarter-finals if they beat Scotland this week.

Ronaldo was approached by a number of fans on the pitch asking for selfies this year while he was playing for Portugal. On one occasion during Euro 2024 he appeared to enjoy a particular instance, but when it happened repeatedly the former Manchester United star was clearly annoyed.

Ronaldo, who scored his 906th career goal and third in this season’s Nations League in the win over Poland, could feature for Portugal when they face bottom-of-the-group Scotland on Tuesday night.

FC Twente makes its champion debut in the Champions League

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Great start to the group stage for FC Twente, who defeated the Scottish champions, Celtic FC, in Glasgow, by zero to two.

It was a competitive match. Glasgow started better by dominating the ball and commanding. But the Netherlands team players soon reacted.

On the brink of half-time, Carleer decided to send a deep lob from his half for Kayleigh van Dooren to run towards. This young but experienced midfielder, born in the town of Veldhoven, had no problems reaching the ball. After controlling the ball with a light touch, he made a subtle attempt against which goalkeeper Daugherty could do nothing.

Second part

After the advantage acquired in the first period, Twente settled into the match with more security, although Celtic also had scoring opportunities.

The Scots advanced the line in search of an equalizer and risked more. Despite this, it was Twente who were able to score the second goal through Andradóttir.

Precisely, the Icelandic soccer player created the play for the second and final goal. With five minutes left, he entered with speed from the right flank and crossed into the Celtic six-yard box. There, Kayleigh van Dooren did not forgive and shot the Scottish goalkeeper at point-blank range. Time was running against the home team and, finally, Twente took the lead and the three points for the Netherlands.

The next day, Celtic FC Glasgow will visit Real Madrid on Thursday the 17th at 6:45 p.m. That same day, but at 9:00 p.m., Twente will host Chelsea with the lead at stake.

The British King Charles III. (75) emphasized the great importance of this part of the country for himself and his family at an anniversary event in Scotland.

«At the end of every day we are all united by our love for Scotland. Of course because of his natural beauty, but also because of his strength of character,” said the monarch in a speech on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.

“From a personal perspective, Scotland has always held a very special place in my family’s and my hearts,” said Charles about the northern part of the British Kingdom. His grandmother – the “Queen Mum” Elizabeth (1900-2002) – was proud to be Scottish.

His mother Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) particularly valued the time in her Scottish summer residence Balmoral and decided to spend the last days of her life there.

Scottish love despite global challenges

Looking ahead to the next quarter of a century and beyond, Charles warned that there was still much to be done for Scotland, for Britain and also for the challenges of climate change and species extinction. “So let this moment be the beginning of the next chapter,” he said.

“The achievements of the past and the commitment shown in the present give us the best basis for confidence in the future.”

Spain defeats Switzerland

Cristiano Ronaldo scores again for Portugal. Switzerland was not helped by a long numerical advantage against Spain, and thanks to Yussuf Poulsen, the Danish national team got off to a perfect start in the Nations League. In the 2-0 (1-0) win in Copenhagen against Serbia, the 30-year-old Leipzig striker set up the first goal for Albert Grønbaek (36th minute), and scored the second himself with an artistic overhead kick (61st minute). The Danes also won 2-0 in their opening match against Switzerland on Thursday. The third opponent in Group 4 (League A) is defending champion Spain.

Despite being outnumbered for a long time, the Spaniards won 4-1 (2-1) in Switzerland. Portugal celebrated a late 2-1 (0-1) against Scotland, with the winning goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on shortly after half-time (88th minute). The top star also made the difference in the match between Croatia and Poland in Group 1: Thanks to Luka Modric (52nd minute), Croatia secured a 1-0 (0-0) win against the guests led by captain Robert Lewandowski.

Despite scoring his 900th career goal in the previous 2-1 win against Croatia on Thursday, superstar Ronaldo was only on the bench for the Portuguese team. He was replaced by Liverpool’s Diogo Jota. He had to watch as Scott McTominay (7th) surprisingly and impressively put the Scots in the lead with a header. It was only after the break that Bruno Fernandes (54th) and Ronaldo turned the game around in Lisbon.

In Geneva, the Spaniards took an early lead, Joselu scoring with a header in the 4th minute. Just a short time later, Fabián Ruiz (13th) increased the lead for the guests who had been dominating up to that point. BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was powerless to stop the goals. Because Robin Le Normand was shown the red card (20th) for an emergency stop – the resulting free kick was hit by Zeki Amdouni on the crossbar of the Spanish goal – the Swiss found their way into the game better. Amdouni (41st) scored from a corner to tie the game. After the break, Ruiz (77th) and Ferran Torres (80th) again dashed the Swiss hopes of at least one point.

Substituted, then turned the game around

The victory was lucky, but who cares about that afterwards? Cristiano Ronaldo showed against Scotland why he is still important at the age of 39.

Cristiano Ronaldo can also play as a substitute: With the 901st goal of his career, the 39-year-old gave hosts Portugal a lucky win against Scotland in the Nations League. In Lisbon, the European Championship quarter-finalists won 2-1 (0-1) after falling behind early on, with Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scoring the winning goal in the 88th minute.

Scott McTominay of SSC Napoli had given Scotland, who had lost 5-1 to Germany at the European Championship, the lead with a header in the 7th minute. It remained the visitors’ only good chance in the first half.

With Ronaldo, who had scored the 900th goal of his career in Thursday’s 2-1 win against Croatia, Portugal pushed for an equalizer after the break – and were rewarded with an equalizer from Bruno Fernandes (54′). Shortly before the end, Ronaldo pushed the ball over the line from close range to win the match.

European champions Spain celebrated a clear victory in the Nations League. The defending champions beat Switzerland 4-1, although the Iberians played with a man down for around 70 minutes. Central defender Robin Le Normand was shown the red card after an emergency tackle (21′).

At the time of the sending off, the team of successful coach Luis de la Fuente, who had only played a 0-0 draw in Serbia in the opening match, were already 2-0 up thanks to goals from Joselu (4th) and Fabian (14th). But then Le Normand stopped ex-Gladbach player Breel Embolo with an emergency stop and the game initially turned. But three days after the 0-2 defeat in Denmark, Switzerland could not manage more than a goal by Zeki Amdouni (42nd) – instead, Fabian (77th) and Ferran Torres (80th) even increased the lead for the guests.

While Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel was in the Swiss goal and Augsburg’s Rubén Vargas played his 50th international match, Silvan Widmer from Mainz 05 had to sit out at short notice after an injury during warm-up. For Spain, Alejandro Grimaldo was in the starting eleven, in contrast to his Leverkusen club colleague Aleix Garcia.
