Ronaldo's boot makes the assist Bruno Fernandes more special, the truth behind CR7’s shoes change yesterday

Cristiano Ronaldo was influential in Portugal's 3-0 win against Turkiye yesterday in EURO 2024. The Portuguese striker grabbed an assist as he was very unselfish in the third goal for Portugal in the second half. He had the goal in front of him, but he passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes, who tapped it into the net past the Turkish keeper. It was a special moment since Ronaldo is known to be hungry for goals and would most likely score from those positions, but they showcased teamwork in the play. That assist gave him the most assists in European Championship history , with eight assists in EUROS history. Not only was the assist special for that achievement, but because of the boots Ronaldo wore for the assist. In the first half, Ronaldo was wearing different boots, and at halftime, he asked Bruno Fernandes to borrow his boots for the second half. It had Fernandes' daughter's name on it, and it was a great gesture to see Ronaldo assist the goal for Fernandes with his daughter's name on the boots CR7 wore.

The pink boots are new for Nike-contracted players to wear for the EUROS. All players contracted with Nike wore its new version for the Euro and Copa America tournaments, except for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still wearing his green shoes, which he wore for the first time in March 2024. Rumors suggest that there are issues between Ronaldo and Nike despite having a lifetime contract together. He wore the new ones yesterday, thanks to Fernandes lending them to him.

Fernandes talked about the pass Ronaldo gave him and said, "I think Cristiano has always been unselfish. In that moment he made the decision to pass. If he had shot, it would not have been a wrong decision."

Bruno Fernandes on the team

The third goal was important for the Portuguese team, and Fernandes mentioned that it was due to the teamwork from all the players, including Ronaldo. Fernandes said, "Obviously everyone loves and wants to score goals, but that is not the most important thing, and that is reflected in my goal, because Cris is our best goalscorer and in the moment of opportunity to score he gives the ball to the side, and that shows the meaning that this has for us, which is to win games not scoring goals.”
