On Tuesday, 23 June, the Portuguese team achieved a great victory over the Uzbekistan team in another round of the group stage of the World Championship 2026. The match ended with a 5:0 draw, and the captain of the Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo, became the head of the match, having completed a spectacular double.

Afterwards, the journalists asked the five-time Golden Ball winner about the incredible struggle of the Argentina national team and Lionel Messi at the playoff stage. According to the Portuguese version of A Bola, the attacker reacted to this question rather sharply, calling on him to focus on the team’s current tasks.

“I don’t know what the news is, even though there’s no food. It would be cool, but the most important thing today would be to win in order to leave the group and be prepared before checking ahead. A good match against Colombia is on us, but we won the smut - we left the group. “I helped the team, they played wonderfully, and we’ll be off,” Ronaldo said.

The match against Uzbekistan became significant for Ronaldo, and also set a number of prestigious records: Having scored his 10th goal at the World Cup, Cristiano surpassed the achievements of the legendary Eusebio, who scored 9 accurate shots.

Ronaldo officially became the first football player in history to score goals in six different world championships.

At the top of the tournament table is the Colombian team, which has 6 points after defeating DR Congo. Portugal with 4 points is in another position.
