'Nothing Was Missing...': Ronaldo Defends Portugal's Frustrating 1-1 FIFA WC Draw With Congo
FIFA World Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo has defended Portugal’s sluggish start to their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign, insisting "nothing was missing" in the team's performance despite a disappointing 1-1 draw against Congo here at Houstan Stadium.
Ronaldo, who became the oldest outfield player to ever start a World Cup match, played the full 90 minutes but was unable to make a decisive impact in front of goal as all three of his strikes went wide off the target.
"Nothing was missing, football is like this. Portugal could have won, but they could also have lost," Ronaldo told Sport TV Portugal in a brief exchange after the game.
