Ronaldo spoiling his legacy — Odumodu slams ex-Real Madrid star for World Cup comments
Cristiano Ronaldo made history by scoring his 900th career goal in Portugal's 2-1 win over Croatia in the Nations League.
However, his post-match comments sparked controversy on social media.
Ronaldo stated, "Portugal winning [the] Euros is equivalent to winning a World Cup."

He added, "I've already won two trophies for Portugal that I really wanted. I'm not motivated by that," referencing Portugal's Euro 2016 and UEFA Nations League 2019 victories.
Ronaldo's remarks were seen as downplaying the significance of the World Cup, which his rival Messi won with Argentina in 2022.
