Robin Gosens, the German who took revenge for Cristiano's contempt in Serie A

In the framework of the second day of Euro 2021, Germany beat Portugal 4-2 in a real match in which Robin Gosens was one of the figures. The footballer scored a goal, gave two assists and incidentally claimed a rematch with the idol of the opposing team: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Two seasons ago, in Serie A in Italy, the Atalanta footballer suffered the contempt of the Portuguese, because he felt small against 'CR7'. However, the passage of time and the triumph at the Allianz Arena in Munich healed the wounds in the German's pride. In his autobiography ‘It is worth dreaming’, Gosens revealed that at the end of a match between Juventus and Atalanta for the Italian Cup, the German approached Cristiano Ronaldo to ask for the shirt.

Without any impudence, the goalscorer of the Turin club did not take long to reject it: it was a resounding 'no' that left the '20' of the 'Mannschaft' ashamed until last Saturday, where the Teuton was the 'MVP' of the match against the Portuguese team. “After the final whistle I went to him, I didn't even go to the public to celebrate ... but Ronaldo didn't accept. I asked him: ‘Cristiano, can I have your shirt?’ He didn’t even look at me, he just said, ‘No,’ ”Gosens wrote in the aforementioned book.

“I was completely flushed and embarrassed. I left and felt small. You know that moment when something embarrassing happens and you look around to see if anyone notices? That's what I felt and I tried to hide it, ”added the German international. The bad time that Gosens lived with Cristiano Ronaldo reached the ears of the rest of the Atalanta players, who to remove the drama from the matter gave the German a symbolic shirt of the Juventus forward. Last Saturday, after the victory against Portugal, Gosens was asked if he would ask Cristiano Ronaldo for the shirt again. "No, I just want to enjoy this wonderful and unforgettable evening," said the Atalanta man after the Teutons' victory at the home of Bayern Munich. Soccer spins.
