Latest news: Cristiano Ronaldo Sends Shocking Message to Referee After Game Against Georgia. Cristiano Ronaldo started for Portugal in the final game of the Euro 2024 group stage against Georgia, despite Roberto Martínez’s team already securing top spot in the group – and the first half of the game didn’t go very well. Few football players can, or have ever managed, show their temperament on the field like Portugal’s captain. Throughout his long and distinguished career, fans of Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr and the national team are more than accustomed to these moments.
And in Portugal’s final Euro 2024 group stage game against Georgia, losing 1-0 to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s early goal and less than half an hour into the game, Ronaldo put on a fine spectacle. There is no doubt, when Pedro Neto lifted a cross into the box, Ronaldo was brought down. His marker was all over him, hands everywhere, his shirt torn. Ronaldo ended up on the ground. Sitting down, with his legs open, he complained. His hands shot into the air as he appealed, several teammates doing the same. Referee Sandro Schärer didn’t want to know, he was following the ball. Ronaldo’s attention turned to his assistant. Now on his knees, he gestured violently, pulling at his own shirt, pointing to his eye, asking ‘how did you not see that?’.
Like the man in blue in the middle, the man in blue on the sideline continued with the game. Then the third part of his complaints saw Ronaldo raise an arm towards the Portuguese bench, where Roberto Martínez was in his technical area. The message here was also simple: ‘Check the monitors!’ ‘Call the VAR’. But when the ball went out of play and play was stopped very briefly, the referee allowed Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to restart play. Cue the fourth part of Ronaldo’s response. This time, he caught the referee’s attention, raising his arm again in disgust. He walked up to the referee, still apoplectic with rage, said something, and received a yellow card from the Swiss official. He left, one arm raised in the air, outraged at the injustice of it all.
The stadium’s screens showed his name and the announcer announced to everyone present that he had been cautioned – provoking more frenzied applause from the vast Georgian presence in Gelsenkirchen. Indeed, it was a miserable night for Ronaldo as Portugal lost 2-0 in the biggest upset in Euros history. After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo broke his silence and sent a shocking message to the referee. “I don’t understand how the referee didn’t see that clear foul. I was pulled, my shirt was torn, and nothing was marked. It is unacceptable in a tournament of this level,” said Ronaldo. “I hope the refereeing improves for the next games, because it cannot continue like this.” Related Posts.
