Mientras Le Dices Penaldo, CR7 Se Convirtió En El Máximo Goleador De Selecciones Masculinas

Los goles son goles. Sean de chilena, de cabeza o de rodilla. Cristiano Ronaldo los ha hecho de todas formas, pero por alguna razón hay un grupo de personas que trata de invalidar sus logros porque muchas de esas conquistas han sido de penal. Hasta lo llaman Penaldo.

Obviamente, es una insensatez.

Lo relevante es que mientras sus críticos pierden el tiempo en boberías, Cristiano Ronaldo hoy ante Francia marcó dos goles y consiguió convertirse en el máximo goleador masculino a nivel de selecciones, igualando al iraní Ali Daei, con 109 conquistas.

6 Minutes Away From Elimination To Hungary, Leon Goretzka Made Himself A National Hero

Hugo Lloris Obliterates Danilo Pereira, Setting Up Ronaldo’s First Goal Ever Against France

Portugal and France traded penalty kicks to go into halftime time tied on Wednesday in Budapest. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 30th minute, with Karim Benzema equalizing just before halftime. Both also scored in the second half of the 2-2 draw.

El arquero de Eslovaquia, Martin Dubravka, vivió algo de lo último en el duelo ante España, en el cierre del Grupo F de la Euro 2020.

Poland bowed out in the group stage of a major tournament for a second straight time after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Sweden on Wednesday. In the most ironic fashion, the one thing the denied the Poles from glory was a pole.
