🇵🇹 PORTUGAL FANS FLOOD BRUNO FERNANDES' INSTAGRAM: "PASS THE BALL TO RONALDO!"
Bruno Fernandes' latest Instagram post has turned into a battleground after Portugal's disappointing 1-1 draw against DR Congo.
Thousands of angry supporters have flooded the comments section, with many accusing the Manchester United midfielder of not giving Cristiano Ronaldo enough service.
Among the comments dominating the post:
• "Pass the ball to Ronaldo."
• "Without Ronaldo, Portugal would not have half of its football prestige."
• "No matter what you do, Ronaldo will always be above you."
According to reports, more than 20,000 comments have poured in, with many fans expressing frustration over what they believe is a lack of chemistry and respect towards the Portuguese captain.
Whenever Portugal struggle, emotions take over. But football is rarely as simple as blaming one player or another. What this reaction shows more than anything is the extraordinary influence Cristiano Ronaldo still has. At 41, few players in football history can mobilize millions of supporters with such passion. For many fans, criticizing Ronaldo is one thing. Ignoring him on the pitch is another.
