What Cristiano Ronaldo did when he saw that even Pepe scored and not him at Qatar 2022

Portugal advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup after thrashing Switzerland in the round of 16 with a score of 6-1. The Portuguese team proved to be far superior and played very well despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo from the first minute.

The decision to leave Ronaldo on the bench for this match was due to a decision by coach Fernando Santos, who stated that there is no problem with Ronaldo. However, it will have to do with the player's discomfort after being substituted in Portugal's last match.
