Cristiano Ronaldo's message after the win against Slovakia

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal emerged victorious in Bratislava and are leading Group J in the EURO 2024 Qualifiers. Despite having several stars on the field, the Portuguese team faced more difficulties than expected in a match that many thought would be straightforward.

Against a very insistent Slovakian team that applied pressure consistently, Roberto Martinez's team had trouble with their midfield play, which disrupted the flow of the game and favored the hosts.

However, a goal from Bruno Fernandes just before half-time was enough to secure the victory in this qualifier.

After Cristiano Ronaldo's clash with the Slovakian goalkeeper, the fans in the stadium demanded VAR intervention, but the former Real Madrid player was only shown a yellow card. Nevertheless, the card means he will miss the next match against Luxembourg on Monday. Despite the tough moment, Cristiano did not hesitate to send a message to the fans on social media.

Ronaldo's message on social media:

Following the match, Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged the opponent's effort and expressed his excitement at securing all 3 points with an undefeated Portuguese team so far.
