We are less than 24 hours away from the kickoff of Copa America 2024. Defending champions Argentina will look to start the tournament in style as they face Canada in the tournament’s opening fixture. Lionel Messi and his side will be eager to take to the field, hoping to clinch the title. Albiceleste fans will undoubtedly make their voices known as they cheer on their team at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. While fans will be there to cheer on the reigning champions, it seems Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez has changed her allegiance right before the crucial game.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend shared a surprising post on her Instagram story where the Argentine model can be seen wearing a t-shirt that says “Brazilian girl” while enjoying her food. The Albiceleste supporters, who are gearing up to create a home atmosphere for their team despite playing on a different continent, might not take lightly to the news.

However, in Georgina’s defense, the actual Instagram post is from a while ago. Also, the Argentine influencer is just wearing a top with Brazil’s flag rather than donning the rival’s kit. Georgina Rodriguez is an ardent Portugal supporter with the model seen in attendance during multiple Cristiano Ronaldo games. While many would say that is just her supporting her partner, the Argentine has never expressed her support for her national team.

Plus, let’s be very honest, it’s not like we expect Georgina to support Lionel Messi and Argentina when she’s busy cheering on Cristiano Ronaldo during the Euros.

While many would love to see the player represent his team during the World Cup 2026, it seems like a fever dream. However, that doesn’t mean the story is over for the Portuguese skipper. CR7 can have his fairytale ending this summer if the team can get their hands on the coveted European silverware.

The Lusos have started their campaign with a win over Czechia thanks to a last-minute winner from Francisco Conceicao. Roberto Martinez and his team take Turkey in their next fixture and a win over their opponents will see the side confirm their place in the knockouts.

Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to get his hands around a major European silverware since 2016 and will be eager to wrap up his decorated international career with the elite milestone.
