You Won’t Believe What Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Texted’ Piers Morgan on His Claim to Teammate Bruno Fernandes’ First Goal Against Uruguay

Cristiano Ronaldo is making the headlines after the Uruguay match. Although Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring against Uruguay, Ronaldo claimed it was his goal. This has made fans on social media give some hilarious reactions. Ronaldo is always eager to score goals on the field and this is one of the qualities that has made him the top scorer, and he is always keen to add to that tally.

Portugal beat Uruguay 2-0, with both goals scored by Bruno Fernandes. With the win, Portugal made it to the knockouts to join France and Brazil. They next take on South Korea, who lost to Ghana, in their last group-stage match. Either South Korea, Ghana, and Uruguay will join Portugal in the knockout stage from Group H.

Alexi Lalas claims Cristiano Ronaldo Texted Piers Morgan

Former US international soccer player Alexi Lalas, while speaking on Fox Sports, claimed that Ronaldo texted about the first goal to Piers Morgan. Lalas said, “Breaking news is that Cristiano Ronaldo did not score, despite his claims that it did touch him. I was just with Piers Morgan. He said that Cristiano texted him from the locker room saying he believes that it touched his head. Who knows…”

The goal in question was scored in the 54th minute of the game. Fernandes sent in a cross inside the box that went into Uruguay’s goal. Ronaldo went to celebrate the goal, claiming it touched his head. The replays showed otherwise, and the goal was awarded to Bruno Fernandes. Ronaldo wasn’t happy at the end of the match and kept claiming it brushed his head.

However, Piers Morgan has claimed that Ronaldo actually touched the ball and he should be ‘awarded the goal’.

Portugal will hope to avoid Brazil in the round of 16

Portugal and Brazil will look to avoid each other in the round of 16. Both teams, in particular, won’t fancy playing a tough opposition so early. Along with France, they are the only team with two wins out of two and will go all out in the last game of the group stage. A win for either team will guarantee a top spot in their respective groups as a result of which they won’t face each other in the next round.

Brazil suffered a setback after the Serbia game when Neymar was injured. Neymar won’t be available for the last game of the group stage. Although there is no fixed time span given by Brazil on when Neymar will return to play.

Missing Neymar in such a crucial stage of the tournament is a major setback for Brazil, and they will hope he is back before the knockout stage begins. Portugal, on the other hand, has one injury. Nuno Mendes came out injured against Uruguay.
