He played for Man Utd and now he attacks Cristiano, the harsh comments against CR7 that will motivate him ahead of Euros

Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing in his sixth EUROS with the Portuguese national team this summer, and he will make his EURO 2024 debut today. CR7 has earned his call-up to the national team for this tournament since he had a great season with Al Nassr. He was the top goalscorer for the Al Nassr team and the top goalscorer in the Saudi Pro League. Most fans agree that calling Ronaldo up to the EUROS is the right decision since he shined for his club this past season, but others think that it isn't the best idea because of his age. Ronaldo is 39 years old, and a former Manchester United player said that it could affect the rest of the Portugal team. Former Manchester United and Czech Republic player Karel Poborsky said, "Cristiano Ronaldo will be one of the weakest links in the Portuguese team if he plays. Time cannot be stopped, he is 39 years old."

Poborsky explained his reason as he said, "The fans of both teams will go crazy for him [Ronaldo], but at his age he is not as good for building the game and pressing as his younger teammates. So our team would rather him start. Hats off to him for what he has achieved – thanks to his enormous self-confidence."

The Czech Republic legend holds nothing back and wants to see his national team defeat Ronaldo and Portugal. Poborsky said, "I believe we will be ready. The Portuguese are players who play in the best clubs in the world, they are stars, and they go into it as the favorites, but we want to win. We want to stop Ronaldo. I want to say after the match that we didn't just play against Cristiano Ronaldo, we defeated him."
