Cristiano Ronaldo endured a frustrating outing last Wednesday, despite Portugal's 2-1 victory over Nigeria in Leiria. This match was the second and final warm-up fixture for the 2026 World Cup.
The captain squandered a golden one-on-one opportunity against the Nigerian goalkeeper and, despite numerous shots, once again failed to find the back of the net. This mirrored his performance in the 45 minutes he played against Chile (2-1) at Jamor.
This time, CR7 played for 65 minutes, making him the only outfield player to feature for more than 45 minutes. However, the goals ultimately came from Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceição. On Thursday, over 12 hours after the final whistle, Ryanair took a jab at the 41-year-old forward.
The airline shared a social media post from Ronaldo, where he had written "step by step" alongside training photos, and added a playful message with a pun: "He needs to pass more often."
