On June 27, in the final round of Group F of the European Championship, Portugal lost 0-2 to Georgia. Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted in the 65th minute. The substituted Ronaldo was not happy and kicked the mineral water bottle next to him.
Although Portugal had already secured the top spot in the group after the first two rounds with two wins, Portugal coach Martínez still arranged for Ronaldo to start in this game in order to keep him in good shape. But in this game, Ronaldo still failed to score his first goal of the tournament, and Portugal also suffered a defeat, which must have made him quite regretful.
In the 65th minute, when Ronaldo was substituted, Portugal was already trailing 0-2. In this situation, coach Martínez replaced Ronaldo, who was eager to win, which also made him quite dissatisfied. As he left the field, he kicked the mineral water bottle next to him, venting his frustration.
After qualifying for the group, Portugal will fall into the “death zone” in the knockout rounds. In the round of 16, Portugal will face Slovenia. It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo can adjust his form.
