Ronaldo “rejuvenate” at the age of 39, Portugal makes other teams afraid

The British newspaper Sport Bible has an article with the headline: “Cristiano Ronaldo still turns the opponent’s defender into a clown at the age of 39, time has forgotten him.” Ronaldo once again proved his importance to Portugal when he produced an impressive performance against Turkey.

Sport Bible praises “eternal” Ronaldo

Besides the assist for Bruno Fernandes, CR7 also reminded fans of his peak years with a superb technical tackle. In the 15th minute, the player who won the Golden Ball five times turned around before eliminating Abdulkerim Bardakci, causing the Turkish defender to fall down.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports (UK) commented: “Ronaldo showed that he can still contribute to the Portuguese team.”

AS newspaper (Spain) assessed: “There are many dangers besides Ronaldo. Portugal overwhelmed Türkiye without needing a goal from their No. 1 star. Coach Roberto Martinez has created a team with a classic style.”

Another Spanish newspaper, Marca, wrote: “Portugal shows its true colors and causes fear. They are the third team to reach the round of 16 after a convincing victory over Türkiye. The performance was much better than the image against the Czech Republic.”

And in Italy, La Gazzetta Dello Sport wrote: “The gap in quality between Portugal’s offense and Türkiye’s defense is clear. Portugal is growing more and more and asserting itself as a strong candidate for the championship at EURO this year.”
